Anthropic's official open-source Agent Skills repository (anthropics/skills) has surpassed 173K GitHub stars with 20.6K forks. Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads on demand to perform specialized tasks repeatably — brand-guideline documents, data analysis, web-app testing, MCP server generation — avoiding long handwritten prompts. The repo links to the agentskills.io standard and guides for building custom skills.
