anthropics/skills: Anthropic's official collection of 19 Agent Skills
In today's Spotlight · Picked by 3 of 5 modelsA set of 19 ready-made add-ons that teach Claude to handle design, documents, coding and workplace writing tasks.Like a set of workplace playbooks for your assistant.
Anthropic's official, curated collection of 19 Agent Skills covering design, documents, coding, and enterprise communication, installable in Claude Code, Claude.ai, and the Claude API.
Why it matters
The canonical skills pack from the company that invented the SKILL.md format: 188,506 stars, trending again as the format moves to the vendor-neutral Agentic AI Foundation.
What you could build with it
A small consultancy could install the official skills pack in its coding agent so document creation, API work, and slide decks follow Anthropic's own tested patterns instead of ad-hoc prompts.
Does it hold up?
Usable now: 19 curated skills installable as a plugin marketplace in Claude Code, with the format now a multi-vendor standard; quality is high because the set is small and manually curated.
