Claude Code skills: the official list, explained 2026
Our atlas lists 19 Claude Code skills, and all 19 are published by Anthropic. They cover office files (docx-skill, pdf-skill, pptx-skill, xlsx-skill), design and visuals (frontend-design-skill, canvas-design-skill, algorithmic-art-skill, theme-factory-skill), writing (doc-coauthoring-skill, internal-comms-skill) and developer help (claude-api-skill, mcp-builder-skill, webapp-testing-skill, skill-creator-skill).
Each profile is built from the project's own repository and docs, not from third-party reviews. Four of the skills (docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx) are listed with a proprietary license that sits in the skill folder, while others such as algorithmic-art-skill and slack-gif-creator-skill are Apache-2.0. The repo README notes that these implementations are examples and may differ from what Claude.ai provides.
- Offiziell 19
So funktioniert es
- A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file; Claude loads it automatically when the SKILL.md description matches your prompt.
- Register the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills, then install a bundle, for example /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills.
- Two bundles group the skills: document-skills (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF) and example-skills (skill-creator, MCP builder, design, algorithmic art and more).
- You can also copy a skill folder to ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ for personal use or .claude/skills/<name>/ for one project.
- To write your own, skill-creator-skill drafts a skill, runs test prompts and helps optimize its description.
What a SKILL.md looks like
A skill is a folder with SKILL.md: YAML frontmatter (name, description) and the instructions Claude loads when the task matches. Claude picks the skill by its description, so that line matters most.
