Small Business

8

Cash Flow Forecaster

Build a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast from bank exports, AR aging, AP bills, payroll, and recurring commitments -- the report that tells a small business whether it survives the quarter. Flags the crunch weeks early enough to act.

Commercial Lease Analyzer

Decode a commercial lease before signing or renewing -- true all-in occupancy cost (base rent plus NNN/CAM plus escalations), the clauses that hurt small tenants (personal guarantees, relocation, restoration), and the negotiation asks landlords routinely grant. The lease is most SMBs' biggest fixed cost and least-read document.

Employee Handbook Builder

Build or modernize an employee handbook for a small business with no HR department -- interviews the owner for actual practices, drafts every core policy in plain English, flags the state-specific requirements that need local verification, and outputs a document employees might actually read.

Inventory Reorder Planner

Turn sales history and current stock counts into reorder points, order quantities, and a this-week purchase list -- so a product business stops stocking out of winners and stops burying cash in losers. Handles seasonality, supplier lead times, and the dead-stock cleanup.

Job Post Writer

Write job posts that make the right person apply -- real role clarity, honest selling points, salary range handling, and requirements pruned to what actually predicts success. Small businesses lose great candidates to bad posts long before the interview. Feeds cowork-hiring-screener and hiring-scorecard downstream.

Job Profitability Analyzer

Find out which clients and jobs actually make money -- allocate real costs (labor hours, materials, subs, overhead) against what each job billed, and rank every client by true margin. Most service businesses discover their biggest client is their least profitable.

Contract Redliner

Reads a contract and generates redline suggestions with replacement language. Identifies unfavorable terms, missing protections, ambiguous language, liability exposure, IP risks, termination traps, and auto-renewal gotchas. Produces a contract-review.md with clause-by-clause analysis, risk ratings, tracked changes format, and negotiation talking points. Use when the user wants redline markup, contract markup, or suggested contract edits.

Security Pentest Planner

Plans security penetration tests for web applications. Analyzes codebase, API routes, auth implementation, and infrastructure config to generate comprehensive pentest plans. For authorized testing only.

Tech Due Diligence

Technical due diligence for M&A, investment, or acquisition. Reads a target company's codebase and generates a comprehensive tech DD report with architecture assessment, tech debt quantification, scalability analysis, security posture, team capability inference, build system quality, test coverage, deployment maturity, and open source license risks.

AI Agents

9

Agent Army

Deploy a 2-layer parallel agent hierarchy for large, parallelizable work — big refactors, multi-file migrations, codebase-wide audits, bulk generation. A top-tier commander (Fable or Opus) orchestrates the swarms; the user picks a power level (Max Power / Heavy / Balanced / Economy) that sets the Opus/Sonnet/Haiku model mix per layer. Layer 1 is 3-50+ specialist agents, each with its own full context window; Layer 2 is 2+ sub-agents per member. Includes git safety, tiered sizing, a pre-deploy gate, phantom-completion checks, and multi-wave follow-up.

Agent Swarm Deployer

Deploys swarms of sub-agents for massive parallel data processing tasks. Unlike agent-army (which is for code changes), this is for DATA tasks -- processing 1000 documents, analyzing datasets, bulk content generation. Configurable swarm size, task distribution, result aggregation, progress tracking, and error recovery.

Agent Team Builder

Designs and deploys custom agent teams for specific business workflows. Interactive discovery of business processes, then generates complete team configurations with specialized agent roles, tool access, communication protocols, and handoff rules.

Agent To Agent

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol. Connect two or more Claude agents that pass messages, share context, delegate tasks, and collaborate. Implements structured handoffs, shared memory, and multi-agent conversations.

Scout

Analyzes current conversation context to recommend the best skills and subagents for the task at hand. Use proactively when unsure which tool, skill, or agent to use.

Scout Pro

Enhanced skill navigator that maps conversation history, recommends multi-skill chains, identifies patterns from past usage, and learns from session outcomes. Goes beyond basic scout with deep context analysis and workflow orchestration.

Claude Products

Claude Design Critic

Audit a website or UI and de-AI it — find the patterns that make it look template-generated (in both design and copy) and return specific, prioritized fixes that push it toward editorial, premium, human-crafted. Reviews layout, color, type, spacing, motion, accessibility, AND the words. Use after building or generating any frontend, or when a site looks "fine but generic" and you can't say why.

Claude Design System Architect

Generate a complete, premium design system from a brand brief or an existing site — color tokens, type scale, spacing/radius/elevation, motion language, and component specs — exported as Tailwind config, CSS variables, and a usage doc. Built to look editorial and human-crafted, not template-generated. Use when starting a new product/site, unifying an inconsistent UI, or codifying a brand into reusable tokens.

Claude Landing Composer

Compose a premium, animated landing page section by section in Next.js + Tailwind + Motion (Framer Motion) — built on a real design system, with editorial copy and motion that feels human-crafted, not template-generated. Use when building or rebuilding a landing page, marketing site, or hero/feature/pricing/CTA sections that need to look production-ready and bespoke from day one.

Full Codebase Migrator

Uses 1M context window to ingest an entire codebase and output a file-by-file migration plan. Supports JS to TS, React class to hooks, framework migrations, and more. Generates migration-plan.md with file inventory, dependency graph, migration order, file-by-file changes, estimated effort, and risk assessment.

Gmail To CRM Pipeline

Uses MCP Connectors to read Gmail inbound leads, score them by ICP fit, draft personalized responses, and log qualified leads to your CRM. Turns your inbox into an automated pipeline.

Multi Agent Client Onboarding

Uses Agent SDK to deploy 3 parallel agents for client onboarding -- workflow auditor, tech stack mapper, and strategy drafter. Real consulting workflow that produces a complete client assessment.

Everyday Life

Get the whole library

Claude Code loads every folder containing a SKILL.md and ignores the rest. If ~/.claude/skills already exists, clone elsewhere and symlink the folders you want — Claude Code follows symlinks.

Install all skills
git clone https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills.git ~/.claude/skills
Update later
git -C ~/.claude/skills pull

The skills are free. The rollout is the hard part.

Teams that get real value out of Claude don't just install skills — they change how the work gets done. That's what we do: in-person and virtual training, bootcamps, and builds on your actual workflows.

Questions

What is a Claude skill?

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that teaches Claude how to do a specific job — the instructions, the steps, and any reference files it needs. Claude loads it when a task matches its description. Skills are instructions; MCP servers are connections to external tools; plugins bundle both. Most of what people want is a skill.

Where do skills go on my machine?

Personal skills live in ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md, and project-specific ones in .claude/skills/ inside the project. The folder name is the skill name. Claude Code watches those directories, so a new skill works immediately — no restart.

Do these work in Claude Cowork and the Claude app?

Most of them. Cowork and the Claude app do not read your local ~/.claude/skills/ folder — they load skills enabled on your account, uploaded as a zip. Every skill page here has a zip download and the upload steps. Skills that run shell commands or spawn agents are Claude Code only, and each one says so.

Can I use these commercially?

Yes. The library is MIT licensed. Use them at work, modify them, ship them inside your own tooling. No attribution required and no email wall.

Who maintains this?

OneWave AI. We are an AI consultancy — we train teams on Claude and build AI tools for companies from SMB to enterprise. These are the skills we actually use on client work, opened up.

Also on 12 independent directories
