> An awesome Claude Code skills list for 2026 — a curated, categorized directory of the best official and community skills, each with a GitHub repo link.

This is an awesome Claude Code skills list — a curated, categorized directory of the best official and community skills, with a GitHub link for every one. Rather than rank a top ten, it is built to help you *browse the ecosystem*: find the skills for design, testing, docs, or memory, jump straight to their repos, and install what fits your work. It also points you to the biggest community lists on GitHub so you can keep exploring.

*Last updated: July 2026. The ecosystem moves fast; every entry links to its source repo so you can check activity before installing.*

## How This List Works

Entries are grouped by what they do, and each is just a **name, a link to its GitHub repo, and a one-line description** — the classic "awesome list" format. We label skills that ship as **plugins** (which bundle one or more skills) so the install method is clear. Our aim is a genuinely useful awesome Claude Code skills directory: every entry is a real, active repository we checked resolves, not an auto-scraped list, so you can trust the links. This is the *breadth* view; if you want a ranked, tested shortlist with verdicts and star counts, read our [best Claude Code skills](/blog/best-claude-code-skills) roundup instead.

### Workflow, Planning & Memory

The skills and plugins that keep Claude organized across long, multi-step work:

- **[Planning with Files](https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files)** — crash-proof markdown plans that survive `/clear` and context loss.
- **[Claude Mem](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem)** *(plugin)* — persistent memory that carries context across sessions.
- **[Grill Me](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills)** — relentlessly interviews you about a plan, one question at a time, until every branch is resolved.
- **[Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman)** *(plugin)* — terse "caveman-speak" replies that cut output tokens while keeping code exact.
- **[Context7](https://github.com/upstash/context7)** *(plugin)* — injects up-to-date, version-specific library documentation on demand.

### Meta: Build & Convert Skills

Skills for extending Claude Code itself and turning docs into new skills:

- **[Skill Seekers](https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers)** — turns any documentation site, GitHub repo, or PDF into a reusable Claude skill.

### Security & Cloud

Skills for security testing and cloud development workflows:

- **[pypict Pairwise Testing](https://github.com/omkamal/pypict-claude-skill)** — designs test cases using pairwise combinatorial testing.

## How to Install Any of These

The method depends on how a skill is distributed:

- **Plugin** — add its marketplace and install: `/plugin marketplace add <owner>/<repo>`, then `/plugin install <name>@<marketplace>`. Official ones use `@claude-plugins-official`.
- **Standalone `SKILL.md` folder** — copy the folder into `~/.claude/skills/` (personal) or `.claude/skills/` (project), or use `npx skills add <owner>/<repo>` where the repo supports it.
