The 33 Most Installed Skills for Claude Code · What the Whole World is Installing Right Now.

A skill is a small folder with instructions that you install into your AI agent, and it suddenly knows how to do something it did not know before. Design an interface at an agency level, run tests, produce video, browse the internet, build a presentation. Instead of explaining to Claude how things work every time, you install a skill once and the knowledge stays with it. The skills.sh website is the open catalog of skills. I took the installation table from there and built this list: the most installed skills in the world, organized by category, with a ready-to-copy installation command. All numbers are actual installation counts from skills.sh as of July 26, 2026.

How to Install a Skill · 30 seconds

Command Structure

npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/skills --skill frontend-design

After installation, the agent automatically detects when the skill is relevant and triggers it. You can also call it explicitly: simply tell Claude to use the skill by its name.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Skills work in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and most other agents. Same installation command, same file.

The vast majority are free and open source on GitHub. Some skills run an external paid service, such as video or image generation via a model provider, and then you pay for the model usage rather than the skill.

No. Every installed skill takes up space in the agent context. Recommendation: start with find-skills, and only add skills you actually use. Five good skills are better than thirty.

Yes, and most of the real power is there. A skill is simply a folder with an instructions file. You can write a skill that knows how your business talks, what your landing page looks like, and how you send emails to customers. The skill-creator skill builds it for you.

Open a terminal in the project folder, paste the installation command, and press enter. That is the entire process. Afterwards, simply ask the agent for what you want, and it will run the skill on its own.
