There’s a hidden directory with thousands of free Claude skills you can install in seconds. Here’s how to find the good ones, avoid the risky ones, and add them to your Claude.
The Marketplace
Go to skills.sh. It’s a public directory of thousands of free Claude skills built by developers, companies, and the Claude community.
There’s a leaderboard ranking every skill by total installs, plus filters for trending in the last 24 hours and trending all-time. You can search by what you want to do (“email,” “research,” “PDF,” etc.) to find a skill for it.
Skills can contain code that runs on your computer. Most are safe. Some aren’t. Always check these three things before installing:
Install count — Anything under 1,000 installs is risky. Stick to skills with high install counts. The leaderboard exists for exactly this reason.
Author — Stick to known companies (Vercel, Anthropic, well-known developers with public profiles). If the author has no track record and no other skills, skip it.
Have Claude review the skill itself — Before you install, paste the SKILL.md content into Claude (or another AI agent you trust) and ask it to check for safety, hidden instructions, prompt injections, or anything suspicious. Use the prompt below.
Why It Matters
Skip these checks and you can accidentally install something with malware or hidden prompt injections. The third check is the most powerful — Claude can spot issues that aren’t obvious to a human eye scanning the file.
If You Use Claude Code (One Command)
Each skill page on skills.sh shows the exact install command. Copy it, paste it in your terminal, hit enter. Looks like this:
npx skills add owner/skill-name
Done. Skill is installed and Claude Code can use it immediately.
If You Use Claude.ai (Manual Upload)
Most skills.sh skills are built for Claude Code, but you can use them in Claude.ai too:
1. On the skill’s page, find the SKILL.md file (this is the actual skill content)
2. In Claude.ai, go to Settings → Customize → Skills
3. Click Upload Skill and upload the SKILL.md file
4. Done — Claude can use it in any chat
Heads Up
For Claude.ai, you also need code execution enabled in Settings → Capabilities. Free, Pro, and Max plans all support uploading skills.
Instead of browsing skills.sh manually, set up this Claude skill that does the searching for you. Say what you want to build, it scans the marketplace, vets the install count and author, and gives you the top 3 options to install.
The marketplace gives you skills built by other people. The Weekend Bootcamp teaches you to build your own — designed exactly for your job, your workflows, and your tools.
The Weekend Bootcamp walks you through setting up Claude as a complete system for your specific job — Projects, Skills, Cowork, connectors, scheduled tasks — all wired together. One weekend.
