About Skill Me
Agent skills, one connection away.
Agent skills are powerful. Getting them is not. You find a GitHub repo, read the README, copy a folder into the right place for each tool you use, and repeat for every skill and every machine.
Skill Me hosts the catalog and the connector. Connect once in your terminal, editor, or browser, then ask for the skill a task needs. Installed skills follow you to every client you connect.

How it works
Skill Me is a hosted MCP server plus a web catalog. Connect the MCP to claude.ai once, it takes about a minute. After that, ask for your skills in any conversation and they load through the get_active_skills tool.
Every skill in the catalog is plain, readable text. Free skills show their full text, and skills from other publishers link to their original source, so you can read exactly what a skill does before you install it; premium skills show a preview. The hosted platform (the MCP server, the ingestion pipeline, and the safety review) is closed-source, which is what keeps the catalog curated and the review process resistant to gaming. The skill format is the open SKILL.md standard supported by Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Antigravity, and others.
Independent project. Skill Me is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Anthropic. It uses the public MCP standard and the open SKILL.md format. Claude® is a trademark of Anthropic.

Every good prompt I ever wrote died in a chat window. Skill Me is the place they live instead: a catalog your AI shops from so expertise installs once and works in every conversation. It started as a weekend project and now ships most days.
Frequently asked questions
What is Skill Me?
Skill Me is a curated catalog of agent skills, modular instruction packages that extend what your AI can do. Connect the Skill Me MCP once, in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, claude.ai, ChatGPT, or Antigravity, then find and install skills by asking. Installed skills stay in your library, and you can use them in any later chat.
Is Skill Me affiliated with Anthropic?
No. Skill Me is an independent project. It uses the open MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard that Anthropic introduced in late 2024. Catalog skills are written by the Skill Me team, published by the companies behind the tools, or contributed by the community; community submissions are reviewed by the Skill Me team, not by Anthropic.
Is it free?
Mostly. The connector, your personal library and every free skill and pack cost nothing. Two things are paid: premium packs, bought once (Creative OS, $99; Procedural Game Character Pipeline, $99; Production Readiness Review, $99; Founder Finance & Metrics, $99; LLM App Evals & Guardrails, $99; Technical SEO & Content Engine, $99), and the Team plan ($15 per seat per month after a 14-day free trial), a shared library with pinned versions and private skills that also includes every premium pack.
Is it safe to connect an MCP to my AI?
Skill Me only loads skill content (plain-text instructions) into your AI’s context. It never accesses your conversations, files, or AI account; it receives only what your AI sends in its tool calls. Skills submitted to the catalog are reviewed before they go live, and free skills show their full text so you can read exactly what one does before you install it.
What is the MCP standard?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in late 2024. It lets external services add tools and context to Claude conversations. Skill Me uses MCP to give your assistant a skill catalog it can search, and it loads the instructions for a skill when a task needs them. Many other tools use MCP too, it is the standard way to extend Claude.
Do I need a Claude subscription?
No. claude.ai custom connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free (one custom connector). Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Antigravity connect with no plan requirement. ChatGPT needs Developer mode, which is not on every ChatGPT plan. Claude API users can connect it to their own deployments directly.
How are skills different from the built-in skills in claude.ai?
Claude.ai lets you add your own skills. Skill Me hosts a catalog of 2,000+, lets you find and install them by asking, and works the same way in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Antigravity.
Can I submit my own skill?
Yes. Submit it at skillme.dev/submit: point us at a public repo that holds your SKILL.md, or paste it directly. Every submitted skill passes an automated safety classifier and a manual review before going live.
How do skills activate?
Ask for your skills in a conversation and Skill Me's get_active_skills tool returns the ones in your library; the assistant then follows the one that fits the task. In Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code you can also keep skills as files with the Skill Me CLI, and those agents load them on their own.
Who built Skill Me?
Skill Me was built by Alexander Ouellet (@alexandergrantouellet on Threads, @aouellets on GitHub), an AI product executive and engineer. It started as a weekend project to fill the gap between the growing Claude skills ecosystem and non-technical users who had no way to discover or install skills without a technical background.
