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 15 independent directories

Other people index and redistribute these skills — 200K+ downloads reported across the directories below. On GitHub, where we can measure it directly, the library is open source with 330 stars and 55 forks.

Worth installing that isn't ours

Skills are an open format, and the best library is the one you assemble. These are the repos we run alongside our own — Anthropic's official set among them. All 198 of their skills are indexed in the browser above: switch Library to Anthropic or Third-party to search them. Star counts read from the GitHub API on 2026-09-19.

Want these wired into your team's actual work?

The library is free and yours. If you'd rather not assemble it yourself, leave an email and we'll send back which skills fit your workflow and what it takes to roll them out.
