- pnas-databrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse to build PNAS's Data Availability Statement and deposition plan — mandatory deposition of data in an approved repository at submission, accession numbers/DOIs, public + archived code, and materials sharing. "Available on request" is not sufficient for primary data.PlanningNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- runbook-writermohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsWrite an operational runbook for a service, incident type, or deployment procedure. Use when asked to write a runbook, create an ops guide, document an operational procedure, or prepare an incident response playbook. Produces a runbook with overview, prerequisites, step-by-step procedures, rollback steps, troubleshooting table, and escalation paths.WritingNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- atc-workflowbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when planning an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) campaign end to end — running the year backward from the early-June deadline through the two review rounds, the rebuttal, conditional-acceptance shepherding, the post-acceptance artifact evaluation, and the ACM Open Access camera-ready for the November Hong Kong conference.ProductivityNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- cikm-related-workbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when positioning a CIKM submission against three literatures at once — retrieval, mining, and knowledge management/databases — building the boundary-work paragraph, guarding against misattributing SIGIR/KDD/ICDM classics to CIKM, and handling preprints under the arXiv-declaration and dual-submission rules.ScienceNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- colt-camera-readybrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when converting an accepted COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) paper into its PMLR proceedings version, covering de-anonymization, acknowledgements and funding restoration, appendix consolidation into the archival PDF, PMLR volume metadata and BibTeX hygiene, rebuttal-promised edits, and presentation logistics.DocumentsNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- conext-workflowbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when planning an ACM CoNEXT campaign backward from a deadline, covering the choice between the December and June submission cycles, the mandatory registration step, the one-shot major-revision window, the reproducibility badge opt-in due at submission, PACMNET camera-ready, and presentation — all on CoNEXT's distinctive two-cycles-per-year calendar.ProductivityNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- falsegreen-skillhashgraph-online/awesome-codex-pluginsA curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The #1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-pluginsOtherNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- daily-journalhuytieu/COG-second-brainA passive daily work journal that Claude keeps FOR you so you never have to write it yourself. Append short entries after meaningful work (what was done, what you focused on, artifacts touched) to 01-daily/journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Run a guided reflection at night or in the morning. Use when you run /daily-journal, say "log this to my journal", "add to today's journal", "reflect on today/yesterday", or when finishing a meaningful chunk of work in any session.WritingNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- kyc-escalationmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsWrite an internal KYC/AML escalation memo: a factual time-stamped trigger description, customer-profile vs activity mismatch analysis, red-flag taxonomy mapping, outstanding information, and a recommendation with rationale. Use when asked to escalate a KYC alert, document an AML concern, write up unusual-activity findings for compliance review, or prepare an enhanced due diligence referral. Produces a structured internal escalation memo for a compliance team's decision-makers.LegalNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- expense-filermohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsTurn a pile of receipts into a filed expense report through a tool-using agent — extraction, policy checks, and categorization done for you; submission gated on your approval. Use when asked to file my expenses, process these receipts, build my expense report, or expense this trip. Produces the itemized report with policy flags and an approval-gated filing plan.PlanningNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- closed-loophuytieu/COG-second-brainRun one task through the V-model verification loop: CP-2 plan → CP-3 build → CP-3v component verify → CP-4 integration verify (full lane) → CP-5 acceptance. The worker never grades its own homework; evidence rows trace back to AC-n. Opt-in: invoke with /closed-loop or by asking for the closed loop, proper verification, or an evidence trail. Ordinary work does not run this.PlanningNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- add-vercelnanocoai/nanoclawAdd Vercel deployment capability to NanoClaw agents. Installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers and sets up OneCLI credential injection for api.vercel.com. Use when the user wants agents to deploy web applications to Vercel.DevOpsNo warnings★ 31.1K↓ —
- taste-skillhuytieu/COG-second-brainAnti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns. The agent reads the brief, infers the right design direction, and ships interfaces that do not look templated. Real design systems when applicable, audit-first on redesigns, strict pre-flight check.DesignNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- context-budgetmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsPlan a session's context window like the budget it is — what loads up front, what gets linked instead, what stays fetch-on-demand, and how to keep the stable prefix cache-friendly so repeated turns cost cents instead of dollars. Use when asked my agent keeps blowing its context, plan what to load into the session, why is every turn so expensive, or design the context for this workflow. Produces the load/link/fetch allocation, the cache-aware prefix layout, the per-turn cost shape, and the eviction rules for when the window fills anyway.ProductivityNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- data-formshuytieu/COG-second-brainPick the right way to represent a dataset so a reader gets the finding in three seconds — a catalog of 20+ chart and diagram forms with when-to-use and failure modes, plus the encoding decisions that make any of them readable (takeaway headline, direct labels, kill the axis, highlight-and-mute, show the caveat). Style-agnostic — use with whatever palette or design system the destination already has. Use when charting survey results, benchmark data, usage metrics, or research findings for a post, brief, deck, or report, and whenever the default bar chart feels like it's burying the point.DocumentsNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- knowledge-opsalirezarezvani/claude-skillsUse when writing, checking or cleaning up SOPs and runbooks. Generates them with sop_generator.py, checks 5W2H completeness and links with runbook_validator.py and ingests an existing knowledge base with kb_ingester.py.WritingNo warnings★ 29.2K↓ —
- uai-related-workbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when positioning a UAI submission within the probabilistic reasoning, graphical-model, causality, and Bayesian ML literature, covering PMLR archival status of recent UAI volumes, double-blind self-citation discipline, concurrent arXiv and workshop versions, and the cross-community citation coverage UAI reviewers check first.ScienceNo warnings★ 1.4K↓ —
- braindumphuytieu/COG-second-brainQuick capture of raw thoughts with intelligent domain classification and competitive intelligence extractionOtherNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- windfall-planmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsMake a smart plan for a lump sum — a bonus, inheritance, tax refund, settlement, or sale — so it builds your future instead of evaporating into lifestyle. Use when asked what should I do with a windfall, I came into some money, how to use a bonus/inheritance/tax refund, or don't want to waste this money. Produces a cool-off-first plan, a tax/obligations check, an allocation across foundation-building, goals, and a guilt-free fun slice, and cautions against the classic windfall traps and the vultures that appear. Educational — not financial advice.PlanningNo warnings★ 1.5K↓ —
- retrohuytieu/COG-second-brainCP-7 retrospective: audit checkpoints, evidence quality, action items, and harvest candidates. Closes the V-model cycle and feeds the next run. Use via /retro after ship, escalate, or significant session.OtherNo warnings★ 1.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- judge-task-lifecyclesno-ai/sno-stationJudge how a memory changes active-task state and whether it refers to an existing task. Use for mem-claw task-lifecycle model calls.ProductivityNo warnings★ 1.1K↓ —
- stripe-paymentsjezweb/claude-skillsAdd Stripe payments to a web app — Checkout Sessions, Payment Intents, subscriptions, webhooks, customer portal, and pricing pages.

From the author
Step-by-step guide for creating your own Claude Skills, from deciding whether a skill is the right tool to writing the SKILL.md file, structuring reference material, and making it trigger reliably. Use when you want to package a workflow, framework, or repeated task into a reusable Skill, when an existing skill is not triggering or not loading the right context, when you are auditing a skill that is underperforming, or when you want to publish a skill for others. Also triggers when someone asks "how do I make a skill" or "what makes a good skill". Useful for individuals, teams, and anyone publishing skills publicly.
