What are Claude skills?
A Claude skill (also called an agent skill) is a folder with a SKILL.md file of instructions, sometimes with helper scripts, that teaches Claude a repeatable workflow. Claude loads a skill when a task matches its description. Skills install with one command or by copying the folder into ~/.claude/skills. Every skill here with a fetchable SKILL.md is scanned for instruction overrides, hidden actions, risky shell commands and credential access.
MCPMods lists 1,262 Claude skills; 571 of them pass as low risk on our checks. Data refreshed 2026-10-18.
