Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Add framework-specific expertise to Claude Code so it gives better advice for React, NestJS, or infrastructure tasks automatically.

USE CASE 2

Use workflow commands to manage a project from discovery through code review, integrated with Jira and Confluence.

USE CASE 3

Run the common-ground command to surface Claude's assumptions about your project before it starts making changes.

USE CASE 4

Extend Claude Code with security, testing, or DevOps skills tailored to your current project stack.

In plain English

Claude Skills is a collection of 66 specialized add-ons for Claude Code, the AI coding assistant made by Anthropic. The idea is to extend what Claude Code can do out of the box by loading in specific areas of expertise depending on what you are working on. When you install this plugin and ask Claude Code to help with something, it is supposed to detect what kind of task you are working on and automatically activate the relevant skill. For example, if you ask it to build something in React, it activates a React-focused skill that loads extra reference materials about React. If you ask it to implement authentication in a NestJS API, it activates a different skill with backend-specific guidance. This happens without you needing to tell it which skill to use. The skills cover a wide range of topics organized into twelve categories: programming languages, backend frameworks, frontend frameworks, infrastructure, APIs, testing, DevOps, security, data and machine learning work, and a few other platform-specific areas. Beyond individual skills, there are nine workflow commands for managing software projects across their full lifecycle, from initial discovery through code review and retrospectives. These workflow commands are built to integrate with Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence, so they require an Atlassian MCP server to be set up. There is also a command called common-ground that is meant to surface and check Claude's assumptions about your project before it starts working. The README describes this as context engineering. Installing the plugin takes two commands run inside Claude Code: one to add it from the marketplace and one to install it. Full documentation lives on a separate documentation site linked from the repository.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I just installed the claude-skills plugin in Claude Code. How do I verify it is working and which skills will activate for a Next.js TypeScript project?
Prompt 2
Using claude-skills, help me set up the Atlassian workflow commands so I can create a Jira ticket and a Confluence page for a new feature I am building.
Prompt 3
I am working on a Python FastAPI backend with claude-skills installed. Which skill should auto-activate and what extra guidance does it add to Claude Code?
Prompt 4
Walk me through using the common-ground command in claude-skills to review Claude's assumptions before starting a large refactor on my codebase.
