107Kbackend-api

Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud — the hosted API and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with the Cloud REST API (v2 or v3), browser-use-sdk (Python or TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions, browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces, skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.

What is an AI Agent Skill?

An AI Agent Skill (also known as Claude skills or AI skills) is a reusable capability you can add to an agent to automate tasks like writing, social posting, research, or development workflows.

Think of them as "plugins" for your AI. Browse our Claude skills marketplace to find Claude code templates and open-source GitHub repositories. Most come with a simple one-line installation command.

According to Anthropic's documentation on extending Claude with skills, skills package instructions, scripts, and resources so agents can perform specialized tasks more reliably.

Skills vs nearby concepts

AI Agent Skill

What it is

Reusable capability package (often a repo with SKILL.md) that teaches an agent a workflow.

When to use it

You want installable, shareable agent behaviors for Claude Code, Codex, or similar agents.

MCP server

What it is

A protocol endpoint that exposes tools/data to an agent over Model Context Protocol.

When to use it

You need live tool access (APIs, browsers, databases) rather than a static skill package.

Slash command

What it is

Built-in or local shortcut inside an agent UI/CLI.

When to use it

Quick in-product actions; less portable than a full skill.

44Kagent-workflows

Set up, review, debug, or validate Orca per-workspace environment recipes — on-demand, disposable runtimes (cloud sandboxes, VMs, or local) created fresh for each workspace. Covers first-time setup (provider prerequisites, the reusable base snapshot, the coding-agent auth snapshot, credentials, and state), not just the per-workspace lifecycle scripts. Use to stand up per-workspace environments, fix an `environmentRecipes` entry in `orca.yaml`, scaffold provider lifecycle scripts, or resolve an `orca vm recipe doctor` failure.

102Kcode-generation

Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use on ANY coding task: writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, or designing code, and choosing libraries or dependencies. Also use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies. Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Skills and MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the underlying standard protocol. Claude skills and AI skills are the actual tools and capabilities built using this standard that you install to give your AI agent new powers.

Are these skills safe to use?

Most Claude code skills listed in our marketplace are open-source, allowing you to review the code. We verify popular skills, but we always recommend reviewing the requested permissions (like file access or internet) before installation.

How are skills added to the directory?

The directory is maintained from public skill sources and repositories, with automated quality and safety checks before skills are released.

Is this service free?

Yes, browsing and discovering skills on AI Agent Skills is completely free. Most Claude code templates and plugins listed are also open-source and free to use.

What is a Claude skills marketplace?

A Claude skills marketplace is a platform where developers share and discover AI skills, Claude code templates, and plugins. AI Agent Skills focuses on curated, released skills for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and other AI agents.

How do I find Claude code templates?

Use our search feature or browse by category to find Claude code templates. Filter by stars, recent updates, or specific categories like development, automation, or content creation to find the perfect template for your needs.

Can I use multiple skills together?

Yes, you can install and use multiple AI skills simultaneously. Claude skills are designed to work independently, so you can combine a writing skill with a research skill or use several Claude code skills in the same workflow without conflicts.

Where can I inspect a skill's source code?

Open the skill detail page and follow its repository link. Review the README, source files, permissions, and recent activity before installing it.

How do skills differ from slash commands?

Slash commands are built-in shortcuts in Claude Code (like /help or /clear). Claude skills are external capabilities you install to extend your AI agent with new powers—like web search, code review, or content generation. Skills are more powerful and customizable than basic commands.

How often are skills updated?

Skills in our Claude code skills market are updated by their maintainers. Popular AI skills typically receive updates weekly or monthly. You can sort by 'Recently Updated' to find actively maintained Claude skills, and check the GitHub repository for update frequency.

What is marketplace.json?

marketplace.json is a configuration file some skills use to define metadata for the Claude marketplace. It includes the skill name, description, version, and installation instructions. Not all skills require this file—many work directly from their GitHub repository.

Is this website affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI?

No, AI Agent Skills is an independent Claude skills marketplace created by the community. We are not officially affiliated with Anthropic (makers of Claude) or OpenAI. We curate and list open-source AI skills and Claude code templates from developers worldwide.
