Skills for AI Agents

This repository contains skills to use with AI agents like Claude. Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend an AI agent's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools.

About Skills

Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that AI agents load dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks. Each skill is self-contained in its own folder with a SKILL.md file containing the instructions and metadata that the agent uses.

This repository follows the Agent Skills standard created by Anthropic.
