Rent A Human — Claude Skills

Public Claude Code skills maintained by Rent A Human. Packaged as a Claude Code plugin marketplace so agents and contributors can install the full collection with one command.

Install as a plugin marketplace (recommended)

Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add rentahuman-ai/skills
/plugin install rentahuman-skills@rentahuman-skills

Update later with /plugin marketplace update rentahuman-skills.

What you get

• Skills under skills/ — auto-loaded by Claude Code when relevant.
• rentahuman-mcp MCP server — auto-wired via npx -y rentahuman-mcp@latest so every Claude Code startup pulls the latest published version from npm. Gives the model tools to browse humans, book services, post bounties, and manage rentals on rentahuman.ai.

Configuring the MCP server

Most read-only tools work anonymously. To book, rent, or post bounties you need an API key — get one at rentahuman.ai/dashboard/api-keys and export it before starting Claude Code:

export RENTAHUMAN_API_KEY=rah_...

Optional — point at a non-prod API (dev/staging):

export RENTAHUMAN_API_URL=http://localhost:3000/api

Use as a git submodule

For projects that want to vendor the skills alongside source (e.g. the rentahuman.ai monorepo):

git submodule add https://github.com/rentahuman-ai/skills rentahuman-skills
git submodule update --init

Bump to latest:

git submodule update --remote rentahuman-skills
git add rentahuman-skills
git commit -m "chore: bump rentahuman-skills submodule"

Layout

.claude-plugin/
  marketplace.json    # marketplace catalog
  plugin.json         # plugin manifest
skills/
  <skill-name>/
    SKILL.md          # required — YAML frontmatter + instructions
    references/*.md   # optional — longer context the skill links to
    scripts/          # optional — helper scripts invoked from the skill

Each directory under skills/ is a standalone skill that Claude Code auto-loads when its description matches what you're doing.

SKILL.md frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: One sentence on when Claude should use this. Specific triggers beat vague summaries.
---

Adding or editing skills

1. Create skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md with frontmatter (name, description).
2. Keep the body focused — link out to references/*.md for anything long.
3. Open a PR. Downstream consumers pick it up via /plugin marketplace update or git submodule update --remote.
