Quick start
A skill is a reusable SKILL.md instruction pack that teaches Claude Code a
specialized workflow: systematic debugging, pre-mortems, SEO audits, PDF translation,
and hundreds more. Skills Atlas is a curated catalog of 800+ of them, with two
ways to get the right one:
- 🔍 Find and install it. Browse online or search from your terminal, then install in seconds.
- 🤖 Let it find you. Turn on autopilot and Claude surfaces the fitting skill as you work, no searching.
npm install -g skills-atlas-cli
skills-atlas search "stress test my launch plan" # pre-mortem tops the results
skills-atlas use pre-mortem # install it, Claude applies it now
skills-atlas hook on # optional: autopilot surfaces skills as you work

Why this project exists
The AI Agent Skills ecosystem exploded in 2025, but it's scattered across ~111 GitHub repositories.
Existing awesome lists only give you names plus a one-line description, and they don't tell you which ones work together.
Skills Atlas reorganizes everything along a "functional dimension":
- Want to do SEO? Jump straight to § 4.1, where 6 SEO skills across repos are presented together
- Want a complete development workflow? See § 1.1, where the ⛓ strong-binding markers tell you which 5 must be chained together
- Looking for document-processing tools? See § 2.1, where the Office 4-piece suite + the heavy-duty PDF API + the multi-format extraction engine are laid out at a glance
And it's not just a catalog to read: a terminal CLI + Claude Code plugin
lets you search, install, and use any of these skills, with an opt-in autopilot that
surfaces the right one as you work.

How to use
Find and install from the terminal (CLI + plugin)
The fastest way to actually use a skill. The skills-atlas-cli
package turns the catalog into a real tool: search, install, and use skills straight from
your shell:

npx skills-atlas-cli search seo
npx skills-atlas-cli info brainstorming
npx skills-atlas-cli install brainstorming --global # → ~/.claude/skills/brainstorming/
install downloads only that skill's folder (not the whole repo) into
.claude/skills/. The CLI has grown into a full toolkit:
- Package manager.
use (install + activate now), installed, outdated, upgrade, remove, doctor.
- Project kits.
kit detects your project (frontend / backend / data / infra) and installs a tailored set; sync reproduces it from a committable skills-atlas.kit.json.
- Private sources.
registry add <your data.json> merges your org's internal skills into search / install (private wins a name clash).
- In Claude Code. A bundled plugin (
/skills-atlas:skill-search / :skill-install).
- Any MCP client.
skills-atlas mcp runs a zero-dep MCP server (search / info / install / categories) for Claude Desktop and other agents.

🤖 Autopilot: let the right skill find you
You shouldn't have to know a skill exists to use it. Turn autopilot on, and whenever
your task matches one, Claude surfaces it, explained, with one command to apply:
