Submit a skill

Every skill in the Skill Me catalog started as a community contribution. Submit yours and it becomes available to every user, installed in seconds from inside Claude.

Submit your skill

Point us at a public repo that holds your SKILL.md (preferred — your repo stays the linked source of truth), or paste the SKILL.md directly. Either way your skill enters the review queue immediately: it is auto-checked for safety, then a human reviews and publishes it.

What makes a good skill

✓

Clear job to be done: The skill should solve one specific problem, not five vague ones.

✓

Transparent instructions: Every instruction should be readable and understandable by the user.

✓

Genuine utility: The skill should save time, improve quality, or enable something new.

✓

No hidden behavior: No instructions that try to override Claude's safety rules, exfiltrate data, or deceive the user.

✓

Real content: Stub or placeholder skill_content is rejected. Write real, useful instructions.

SKILL.md template

Every skill starts with a SKILL.md file. Copy this template:

Safety review

Every submitted skill is reviewed for prompt injection, data exfiltration attempts, and hidden instructions before going live. This usually takes 1-3 business days. Skills that pass go live immediately.

Add a preview thumbnail

Skills with animated GIF previews get significantly more installs. See the Skill Media Guide for how to add thumbnails, GIFs, and video loops to your skill.
