Skill Discovery

Find, evaluate, and install skills from the community.

Overview​

Find skills by keyword, or browse popular skills:

skillshare search              # Browse popular skills
skillshare search pdf
skillshare search "code review"
skillshare search react

Step 2: Browse Repositories​

Explore skills in a repository:

# Official Anthropic skills
skillshare install anthropics/skills

# Community skills
skillshare install ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills

This enters discovery mode — shows all available skills in the repo.

Step 3: Evaluate​

Before installing, consider:

  • Does it solve my problem? Read the description
  • Is it well-maintained? Check the repo's activity
  • Will it conflict? Check for name collisions with existing skills

Preview what would be installed:

skillshare install anthropics/skills/skills/pdf --dry-run

Step 4: Install​

Single skill​

skillshare install anthropics/skills/skills/pdf

Multiple skills from one repo​

# Interactive browse
skillshare install anthropics/skills

# Select specific skills (non-interactive)
skillshare install anthropics/skills -s pdf,commit

# Install all skills
skillshare install anthropics/skills --all

Entire repo (for teams)​

skillshare install github.com/team/skills --track

Step 5: Sync​

Don't forget to sync after installing:

skillshare sync
