Skills Marketplace: Public

A free, curated collection of skills for Claude Code and other AI coding assistants.

What Are Skills?

Skills are instructions that teach AI assistants how to perform specific tasks. When you install a skill, your AI assistant gains new capabilities - like knowing how to deploy to your server, follow your team's coding standards, or use your project's specific tools.

Think of skills like browser extensions, but for AI assistants. They extend what your AI can do.

Write Once, Use Everywhere

Skills follow the Agent Skills Specification, an open standard supported by multiple AI coding assistants including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot. This means:

• One skill works across all platforms - Write a skill once and use it with any supported AI assistant
• No vendor lock-in - Your skills aren't tied to a single tool
• Portable workflows - Switch between AI assistants without losing your custom capabilities
• Automatic syncing - Use the skill-manager skill to automatically distribute skills across all your AI tools with a single command

Quick Start (5 minutes)

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed (the CLI or VS Code extension)
• A terminal or VS Code

Step 1: Add This Marketplace

Open Claude Code and run:

/plugin marketplace add jmichaelschmidt/skills-public

This tells Claude Code where to find skills. You only need to do this once.

Step 2: Browse and Install Skills

Run:

/plugin

This opens the plugin browser. Use the arrow keys to navigate:

• Go to the Discover tab to see available skills
• Select a skill and press Enter to see details
• Choose "Install for you (user scope)" to install it for all your projects

Step 3: Use Your New Skills

Once installed, the skill is automatically active. Just ask Claude to do something the skill enables, or ask it to explain the skill to you.

Example - ask about a skill:

"How does the skill-manager skill work?"

Your AI assistant will read the skill's instructions and explain its capabilities, commands, and how to use it.

Example - use a skill:

"List all my installed skills"

or

"Sync my skills to Codex"

Claude will automatically use the skill's instructions to complete the task.

Available Skills

Skill	Description
prd-executor	Execute an existing PRD or implementation plan by acting as the orchestrator. Reads the plan, determines runnable threads, spawns bounded subagents when appropriate, tracks status, integrates results, and verifies completion.
prd-planner	Generate structured PRD planning documents optimized for AI-assisted development. Creates discrete, single-conversation tasks with reasoning level estimates to optimize token usage and model selection.
skill-manager	Manage repo-canonical skills across marketplaces and runtime installs. Publish released skills, install them into Claude, and mirror Codex to the Claude runtime copy.

Trust & Security

Curated by Collaborators

This is a curated marketplace, not an open publishing platform. Skills are added by known collaborators and reviewed before being merged. We don't accept unsolicited skill submissions from the general public.

This approach ensures:

• No malicious instructions - We review for prompt injection, data exfiltration attempts, and other security risks
• No harmful commands - Skills that run destructive commands must include appropriate warnings and confirmations
• Transparent behavior - Skills do what they claim to do, nothing more
• Quality standards - Skills are well-documented and actually useful

How We Review Skills

Every skill is reviewed before being added. We check for:

1. Security risks - Prompt injection, attempts to override safety guidelines, hidden instructions
2. Data safety - No sending user data to external services without clear disclosure
3. Destructive operations - Any commands that delete, overwrite, or modify system files must have safeguards
4. Credential handling - Skills must not log, transmit, or mishandle sensitive information
5. Accuracy - The skill description must match what it actually does

Your Responsibility

Even with our review process, you should:

• Read a skill before installing - Check the SKILL.md to understand what it does
• Review any scripts - If a skill includes scripts, inspect them before running
• Report concerns - If you notice suspicious behavior, open an issue
