Submit a skill

Community submissions are how the catalog grows beyond what the Skill Me team writes. Submit yours and it becomes available to every user, installed in seconds from inside your AI.

Write your own skill66s

Draft a SKILL.md with your AI, then submit it for review.

Remix a skill52s

Fork a catalog skill, make it yours, and keep the original credited.

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.

Point us at a public GitHub repo that holds your SKILL.md. The repo needs a recognized open-source license (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD, or similar) — that license covers the contribution, and your repo stays the linked source of truth.

License-checked and auto-checked for safety, then human-reviewed.

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.

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.
