Skill catalog

36 skills and skill packs across 9 plugins. How to start it shows whether Claude can pick a skill up on its own (“Automatic”) or whether you type the command yourself.

Not included, and why

• ask-matt: a hand-written guide to Matt Pocock’s skills. The suggester does the same job for every installed skill.
• mem-search, mem-setup: part of the claude-mem plugin and useless without it. Install that plugin instead.
• prompt-cache-control: a plugin, not a skill. See claude-code-templates.
• web-design-guidelines (Vercel): no license, and impeccable covers it.
• apple-design-skills: impeccable already ships Apple and Android guideline references.
