The Anthropic Skills Repository is Anthropic's official public library of reusable Claude Code skills hosted at anthropics/skills on GitHub. Skills are slash-command behaviours that can be installed into any Claude Code project by copying a skill file; the repository provides a curated set covering common development workflows including code review, PR management, test generation, and deployment checks.
Claude Code's skill system allows teams to extend the assistant with project-specific or workflow-specific behaviours via reusable slash commands. Prior to the official repository, each team wrote their own skills from scratch with no shared reference point. The Anthropic Skills Repository establishes a canonical library — maintained by the team that builds Claude Code — providing vetted, well-documented starting points that teams can adopt directly or adapt.
Placed in Assess at inner position because Claude Code adoption is accelerating and the skills ecosystem is becoming a meaningful extension surface. The inner position reflects that developers and teams already using Claude Code should be evaluating the official repository before writing custom skills, both to avoid duplication and to understand Anthropic's intended patterns for skill composition.
The repository also functions as a reference for skill authoring conventions, making it useful even when no pre-built skill fits the need exactly.
