What does anthropics/skills do?

Anthropic's implementation of skills for Claude: folders of instructions, scripts and resources that Claude loads when a task calls for them. They range from creative work (art, music, design) to technical tasks such as testing web apps and generating MCP servers, and enterprise work such as communications and branding. They include the document skills behind Claude's own file creation, which are source-available rather than open source; many of the others are Apache 2.0. Anthropic offers them for demonstration and education, and says Claude itself may behave differently.

Its default branch holds 20 SKILL.md files and 3 agent files.
