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:

  1. Context: Domain knowledge and constraints
  2. Patterns: Proven approaches from senior engineers
  3. Pitfalls: Common mistakes to avoid
  4. Examples: Real-world code snippets

How It Works

Instead of building v1 and learning the hard way, you start at v2:

bash
1# Browse available skills
2claudeskills browse
3
4# Install a skill
5claudeskills add stripe-payments
6
7# Claude now knows payment best practices

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)

Join our waitlist to be the first to access new skills as we expand the marketplace.
