Skills directory and structure FAQ
6 questions · what the directory is, how skill folders are laid out, how to submit
What is a Claude skills directory?
A Claude skills directory is a browsable catalog of reusable instructions for Claude and other agents, with links to their sources. AgentSkillsDir is an independent, source-linked directory for discovering Claude and Codex skills, plus separate MCP server and agent collections. It is not Anthropic’s official documentation or a hosted runtime.
What is the typical Claude / agent skills directory structure?
Under the common Agent Skills convention, each skill has its own folder with a SKILL.md file. Optional scripts/, references/ and assets/ folders hold supporting code, documents and templates. This is a common layout, not a requirement for every listed project: follow each repository’s layout and your client’s documentation.
How is AgentSkillsDir different from claude.com docs / skillmd?
AgentSkillsDir provides source links and independent editorial summaries to help you discover resources. It is separate from Anthropic’s official Claude documentation and from other directories such as skillmd. Use official documentation for Claude product behavior and each publisher’s repository for setup, compatibility and license terms. A listing does not certify safety or successful installation.
How do I find the best Claude skills or MCP servers from here?
Start with the task and client you need, then compare the source-linked entries. For focused shortlists, use the video skills, Codex skills or Cursor MCP guides below. Check each candidate’s prerequisites and source terms; inclusion is not a promise that it will work in your setup.
How do I submit a skill or MCP server?
Open the submission page and share the public repository or project URL for manual review. Nothing is published automatically, and listing is not guaranteed. If online intake is unavailable, email the public link to submit@agentskillsdir.com.
What is a SKILL.md file?
SKILL.md is the instruction file in an Agent Skills folder. In the standard format, YAML front matter records a name and description, followed by Markdown instructions explaining the task. Read it and any supporting scripts before enabling a skill; the file is instructions, not proof of an audited or tested workflow.
