Install
git clone https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills.gitawesome-claude-skills by Composio is one of the largest curated directories of Claude skills. It lists more than 1,000 skills and plugins grouped by category, from document processing and development tools to marketing, creative media, productivity, security and app automation. It also explains clearly what skills are and how they differ from MCP servers and tools.
What it covers
Categories include Document Processing (Anthropic’s docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx), Development and Code Tools, Data and Analysis, Business and Marketing, Communication and Writing, Creative and Media, Productivity, Collaboration and Project Management, Security and Systems, and App Automation via Composio. Each entry links to its source repository.
Install
Browse on GitHub, or clone the list to copy skills locally:
git clone https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills.gitCopy a skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ (personal) or .claude/skills/ (project). The repo’s own connect-apps plugin connects Claude to 1,000+ apps through Composio:
claude --plugin-dir ./connect-apps-pluginThen run /connect-apps:setup and paste your Composio API key.
Use cases
- Discover a skill for a niche task before writing your own.
- Compare several community approaches to the same problem.
- Give Claude real actions (email, issues, Slack posts) through connect-apps.
Tips and limits
- A list is only as good as its links; check each skill’s repo for activity and license.
- Composio-sponsored integrations feature prominently; they require a Composio account.
- Third-party skills can contain scripts; read SKILL.md and bundled files before installing.
- Build your own with skill-creator.

Frequently asked questions
Is awesome-claude-skills a skill I install?
Mostly no. It is a curated list linking to skills in other repositories, plus some skills and a connect-apps plugin hosted in the repo itself.
Where should Claude Code skills go?
Claude Code reads personal skills from ~/.claude/skills/ and project skills from .claude/skills/. The README's ~/.config/claude-code/skills/ path did not match Claude Code's documented location when we checked.
Does connect-apps need a Composio account?
Yes. The setup command asks for a Composio API key, which you get from the Composio dashboard.
