claude-skills

A collection of Claude skills distributed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace. Skills are primarily designed for the Claude.ai PaaS skill compute environment; mileage will vary if used as Claude Code Agent Skills.

Installing as a Plugin Marketplace (Claude Code)

Add this repository as a plugin marketplace in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add oaustegard/claude-skills

Then browse and install individual plugins:

/plugin install skill-name@oaustegard-claude-skills

Update all marketplace plugins to latest:

/plugin marketplace update

Installing Skills for Claude.ai (Web/Mobile)

1. You need a paid Claude account (Pro or Team)
2. Download the skill ZIP from the Releases page
   • Note: Use the direct download link for the skill ZIP, not the "Source code" archives auto-generated by GitHub
3. Upload to Claude.ai Skills Settings
4. See official documentation for more details

Install skills directly to your project with a single command:

Contributing Skills

Note: If your skill contribution is just a marketing ploy I'll simply delete it.

Via ZIP Upload (Easiest)

1. Create your skill folder with SKILL.md at the root
2. Package your skill:

   your-skill.zip
     └── your-skill/
         ├── SKILL.md
         └── resources/  (optional)
   

3. Upload the ZIP to the .uploads/ directory
4. The workflow will automatically create a PR with your skill content

Via Direct Development

1. Create a new branch
2. Add your skill folder at the repository root (SKILL.md and resources)
3. Submit a PR with your skill content
