Open the skills market on a bundled catalog of 398 curated ClawHub and SkillHub skills in 13 categories instead of querying both registries live. Live search stays available as an explicit "search all markets" scope whose results are marked as not curated. - Server: catalog scope (default) with category filter, filtering before pagination and batched install state; catalog metadata overlaid on live detail; per-scanner ClawHub reports, changelog and page URL; manual catalog refresh script. - Pin ClawHub reads and installs to the card's owner so a same-slug copy by another author is never shown or installed in its place. - Desktop: category chips, curated cards with tags, locale-aware summaries, detail page with stats, security report, changelog, capability panel and triggers; install confirmation requires acknowledgement for unaudited or flagged skills. - Docs: rewrite the skills market section and refresh screenshots.

Skills and the Skills Market
A skill is a procedure someone else already worked out. Install it and Claude follows it whenever the matching situation comes up. A "PDF handling" skill, for instance, tells it which library to use, what order to split pages in, and what to do with an encrypted file — so you don't have to explain it every time.
How it differs from an agent: an agent is a worker with its own context and tool scope; a skill is knowledge and procedure that an agent loads. Delegating to an agent is hiring someone; installing a skill is handing them a manual.
The Skills Market
Click Skills · Connectors in the sidebar, then switch to Skills at the top.
ClawHub and SkillHub hold well over a hundred thousand skills between them, and most are duplicates, copies or abandoned experiments. So the market home doesn't list them directly. It opens on a curated catalogue instead: about 400 popular skills picked from both sources, sorted into 13 categories such as Agent Boost, Search & Research, Development and Office & Docs. Skills marked Featured are editor's picks. The catalogue ships with the app, so it appears instantly without waiting on the network. Its update date is shown at the top; download and star counts on the cards are from that date.
- Categories — click a category to see only that kind of skill. The number on each button is how many skills it holds.
- Search — the search box matches names, summaries, tags and authors within the catalogue.
- Filters — source (ClawHub / SkillHub), security status, and install status.
In an English, Japanese or Korean interface, cards show the author's original summary and hide the catalogue's Chinese tags.
Search all markets
If the catalogue doesn't have what you need, click Search all markets under the search box to query every skill on ClawHub and SkillHub; in this mode a search runs when you press Enter. These results are not curated, and the page labels them that way — read them more carefully before installing. Clear the search box to return to the catalogue.
Reading the security badges
Each card carries a security badge. It reports what the source scanned, not an audit by this app:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Verified | Publisher is verified and the skill passed the source's security scan |
| Scanned safe | The source's security scan found no risks |
| Not audited | The source provided no security audit data |
| Flagged | The source's scan flagged potential risk |
"Not audited" doesn't mean unsafe — it means nobody checked. "Flagged" means don't install it unless you've read the files and understand exactly what they do. The catalogue includes only a few flagged skills, all widely recommended, and the reason each one is flagged is written on its detail page.
Before you install
A skill can bring new tools, scripts, and external dependencies, and once installed Claude may run them. These skills come from third-party community authors; Featured is a recommendation, not a security guarantee.
A skill's detail page has several parts:
- Overview — at the top, Before installing: what this skill does lists the commands or scripts it runs, hooks it registers, secrets it reads, network hosts it contacts and files it writes. It is detected by rules from
SKILL.mdand the file list, so treat it as a hint, not a substitute for reading the files. When it triggers on the right is the author's own list of situations. - Files — read
SKILL.mdand any accompanying scripts. - Security report — each of the source's scanners, with its verdict and a link to the full report. A flagged skill shows a dot next to this tab.
- Changelog — the author's notes for the latest version, when there are any.
Detail, files and installation always re-read the latest version from the source rather than the catalogue's snapshot.
Recommended:
- Read
SKILL.mdand any accompanying scripts at least once. - If you're unsure, have Claude look first — "check this skill's files for anything suspicious".
- Confirm you actually need it. More skills isn't more capability; every skill costs context.
Install opens a confirmation with the install location, what the skill will be able to do, and a reminder that it takes effect in new sessions. For a Not audited or Flagged skill you must first tick "I have read SKILL.md and the security report" before you can confirm. Sessions already open won't pick it up — start a new one. Installing only downloads files; it never runs the skill's scripts.
Uninstall lives in the same place and deletes the local files under that skill's directory.
Installed skills
My skills at the top right of the Skills page, or Settings → Skills, lists everything available on this machine, grouped by source:
- User — installed by you, in
~/.claude/skills/. - Project — shipped with the repo.
- Plugin — bundled by a plugin.
- Built-in — shipped with the app.
Each entry shows its entry file, file count, and estimated token cost. Open one to switch between doc mode and code mode and read the skill's prose and source files directly.
The .agents/skills convention
Besides ~/.claude/skills/, the desktop app also reads ~/.agents/skills/. That's an open standard directory shared with Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and other clients — install once, use it everywhere. Skills from that directory are tagged .agents in the list.
A project's own .agents/skills/ works the same way: it ships with the repo rather than being something you installed.
:::warning A shared directory means skills another client installed also apply here. Scan Settings → Skills occasionally and make sure nothing on the list is a stranger. :::
