22 Claude Code Skills Worth Installing for Build, Design, Research and Marketing

Agent Skills give coding assistants reusable workflows instead of forcing you to repeat the same instructions in every session. The four supplied carousel images group 22 repositories into Build, Design, Research, and Marketing.

I transcribed every entry, resolved the repository behind each label, and corrected ambiguous names. The popularity figures below are the approximate values printed in the source images; they are snapshots rather than live GitHub counts.

The source carousel mixes several artifact types: portable Agent Skills, Claude Code plugins, skill collections, command-line tools, and complete frameworks. Review the repository and installation method before treating every entry as a one-command skill.

Installation patterns

Many repositories that follow the Agent Skills convention can be installed through the open skills CLI:

npx skills add owner/repository

Use the repository-specific command shown above when a project ships its own installer, requires a Claude Code marketplace plugin, or is a standalone framework or command-line application.

• Plugin repositories may include hooks, status-line integration, subagents, or commands that a simple file copy does not install.
• Frameworks such as Remotion and HyperFrames are runtime dependencies, not just prompts.
• CLI tools such as agent-browser may require browser binaries or system packages.
• Skill collections may install many skills; list available entries first when you only need one.

Important corrections and caveats

• The research image labels one project claude-hub. The verified repository is claude-hud.
• The image describes Graphify as turning notes into a visual map. The current project is broader: it converts codebases and related documents into a queryable knowledge graph.
• The skill-creator entry is a skill inside Anthropic’s public anthropics/skills repository.
• The find-skills entry is part of the vercel-labs/skills repository, which also provides the npx skills CLI.
• Star counts and installation instructions change. Check the linked repository before installing.

Security checklist before installing third-party skills

• Read the full SKILL.md, plugin manifest, hooks, and executable scripts.
• Check which shell commands, network endpoints, environment variables, and file paths the project accesses.
• Pin or review versions for production use instead of blindly updating from the default branch.
• Install project-locally first when testing an unfamiliar skill.
• Remove duplicate installations; the same skill installed through both a marketplace and npx skills may appear twice.
