Introducing Claude Skills: The npm for AI Expertise
Today, we're excited to introduce ClaudeSkills - a curated marketplace of coding workflows for Claude Code. Think of it as npm, but instead of downloading packages, you're downloading judgment.
The Problem
AI coding assistants are powerful, but they often lack the domain-specific knowledge that makes code production-ready. You might get working code, but:
- It misses critical edge cases
- Security best practices are ignored
- Performance patterns are suboptimal
- Error handling is incomplete
The Solution
Claude Skills packages expert knowledge into markdown files that teach Claude best practices for specific tasks. Each skill contains:
- Context: Domain knowledge and constraints
- Patterns: Proven approaches from senior engineers
- Pitfalls: Common mistakes to avoid
- Examples: Real-world code snippets
How It Works
Instead of building v1 and learning the hard way, you start at v2:

Your agent inherits:
- The 10 mistakes you would have made
- The 5 validations you would have forgotten
- The 3 edge cases that break production
What's Next
We're launching with skills for:
- Frontend (React, TypeScript, Tailwind)
- Backend (Supabase, Authentication, APIs)
- Payments (Stripe integration)
- DevOps (Deployment, monitoring)
