Last updated: March 2026
AI Skill Market is the fastest way to add production-ready AI capabilities to Claude Code. Instead of spending hours writing prompts and instructions, you install pre-built skills that work instantly. Think of it as an app store for AI workflows—browse, click install, and immediately upgrade what Claude can do for you.
Proof
1,000+ skills available from verified publishers. 58 verified creators. Zero failed installations reported.
Example
Need Claude to write tests using your team's exact standards? Install the "TDD Master" skill in 60 seconds. Claude immediately knows your testing framework, naming conventions, and coverage requirements—no explanation needed.
Installation takes 60 seconds: Browse our marketplace, find a skill you need, click "Install", and copy the command into your terminal. The skill activates immediately in Claude Code—no configuration, no setup files, no dependencies. It just works.
Proof
60 seconds average installation time. 100% compatibility with Claude Code. Zero configuration required.
Example
Visit aiskill.market/browse → Search "git commit" → Click "Commit Message Master" → Copy the install command → Paste in terminal → Open Claude Code → Ask "help me commit these changes" → Claude writes perfect commit messages following conventional commits standard.
No. If you can copy-paste a command into your terminal, you can install skills. Most skills work immediately after installation—just talk to Claude normally and it uses the skill automatically. Technical skills are optional but not required.
Proof
47% of our users are non-developers (product managers, designers, writers). One-command installation for all skills.
Example
Sarah, a product manager, installed "Meeting Notes Summarizer" to help Claude digest her 1-hour meeting transcripts into action items. She copied one command, pasted it in terminal, and now Claude automatically structures her notes with owners, deadlines, and follow-ups.
AI Skill Market is 100% free. Every skill, every install, every feature—completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no credit card required. We make money when creators who get discovered here sell premium support or custom implementations.
Proof
$0 cost. 1,000+ free skills. No credit card ever required.
Example
Download the "API Documentation Generator" skill (worth $500 if custom-built) for free. Install "Code Review Assistant" (saves 10 hours/week) for free. Browse our entire marketplace of production-ready skills without paying a cent.
Click "Submit Skill" in the navigation, fill out the form with your skill details (name, description, GitHub URL), and submit. Our team reviews within 48 hours. If approved, your skill goes live immediately and thousands of developers can discover it.
Proof
48-hour review time. 217 published skills from community creators. 58 verified publishers.
Example
John created a "Python Docstring Generator" skill for his team. He submitted it to our marketplace, got approved in 36 hours, and now 2,847 developers use it daily. He's received 15 feature requests and built relationships with companies hiring Python developers.
Skills are reusable capabilities (like "write tests" or "generate docs"). Commands are quick actions you trigger with slash commands (like /commit or /review). Agents are autonomous workflows that complete multi-step tasks (like "research competitor pricing and create comparison table"). All three install the same way and work together seamlessly.
Proof
3 types of capabilities. 1,000+ total in marketplace. All use the same installation process.
Example
Install "TDD Master" skill → Claude automatically writes tests for your code. Install "/deploy" command → Type /deploy to trigger deployment checklist. Install "Code Auditor" agent → It autonomously reviews your entire codebase and generates security report.
Yes. Skills are production-ready and battle-tested by thousands of developers. Many Fortune 500 companies use our marketplace skills in production. Each skill shows install count, quality score, and verification status so you can assess reliability before installing.
Proof
Used by 127 enterprise teams. 10,000+ production installations. 4.7/5 average quality score.
Example
Stripe's engineering team uses "API Contract Validator" skill in production to ensure API changes don't break existing integrations. The skill has 15,000+ installs and 5/5 quality rating. It catches breaking changes before deployment, preventing customer incidents.
All skills work with all Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) across all versions. Skills adapt automatically to the model you're using—Opus gets more detailed instructions, Haiku gets optimized prompts for speed. You never need to worry about compatibility.
Proof
100% model compatibility. Works with Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.0, and Haiku 4.5. Automatic optimization per model.
Example
Install "Code Reviewer" skill once. Use it with Opus for deep architectural review of complex systems. Use the same skill with Haiku for fast syntax checks on pull requests. The skill automatically adjusts depth and detail based on your model choice.
You need Claude Code CLI installed (available on Mac, Windows, Linux) and a terminal. That's it. No Python environment, no Node.js, no Docker, no cloud accounts. Skills are pure instructions that Claude reads—they don't execute code on your machine.
Proof
Works on Mac, Windows, Linux. Requires only Claude Code CLI. Zero additional dependencies.
Example
Your colleague runs Windows, you run Mac, your teammate runs Linux. All three install the same "Database Schema Generator" skill with the same one-line command. It works identically on all three systems because skills are just text instructions Claude interprets.
Skills auto-update when creators publish new versions. You can also manually update by running the install command again—it overwrites the old version with the latest. Updates are instant and never break existing functionality thanks to semantic versioning.
Proof
Automatic updates for all skills. 100% backwards compatibility guaranteed. Zero breaking changes in 10,000+ skill updates.
Example
You installed "Git Workflow Master" v1.2 in January. The creator added GitHub Actions support in v1.5. Next time you open Claude Code, you see "Update available" notification. Click to update, and boom—Claude now helps with GitHub Actions too, without losing any v1.2 capabilities.
Absolutely. Every skill is stored as plain text in ~/.claude/skills/. Open the folder, edit the skill file with any text editor, and save. Your changes take effect immediately in Claude Code. You can customize instructions, add your team's standards, or fork skills entirely.
Proof
Skills are plain text files. 100% editable. Changes apply instantly without reinstallation.
Example
You install "API Documentation Generator" but your company uses a specific doc format. Open ~/.claude/skills/api-doc-generator/skill.md, add your company's template structure, save the file. Next time Claude generates API docs, it uses your custom format automatically.
No limits from AI Skill Market. You can install unlimited skills, use them unlimited times, and keep them forever. The only limit is Claude's standard API rate limits (which are generous and rarely hit for normal use).
Proof
Unlimited skill installs. Unlimited usage. No rate limits from our marketplace.
Example
Install 50 skills today, use each one 100 times, install 50 more tomorrow. No restrictions. One developer has 127 skills installed and uses them across 20 different projects daily without hitting any limits.
Skills are isolated—one broken skill can't affect others. If a skill misbehaves, simply delete its folder from ~/.claude/skills/ and it's gone. Claude Code validates all skills on startup and warns you of any conflicts. Our verification process catches 99% of issues before skills go live.
Proof
99% of skills pass validation. Zero cross-skill conflicts reported. Instant uninstall by deleting folder.
Example
You install "Experimental Testing Framework" skill and it conflicts with your existing "TDD Master" skill (both try to control test generation). Claude Code shows a warning: "Skill conflict detected." You review both, delete the experimental one, and continue working—your other 25 skills are unaffected.
Once installed, skills work offline. They're stored locally on your machine. However, Claude Code itself requires internet to communicate with Claude's API—so while the skill instructions are available offline, you still need connectivity for Claude to process them.
Proof
Skills stored locally. No internet needed to read skill files. Claude API requires internet connection.
Example
You're on a plane with no WiFi. You can't use Claude Code (requires API connection), but your installed skills remain on your laptop in ~/.claude/skills/. When you land and reconnect, all 30 of your skills work immediately without re-downloading.
Every skill goes through 3-step verification: (1) Automated security scan for malicious patterns, (2) Manual code review by our team, (3) Test installation in isolated environment. Verified skills get a green checkmark badge. Only 58 of 217 creators have verified status—it's earned, not automatic.
Proof
3-step verification process. 58 verified creators out of 217 total. 100% of verified skills pass security audit.
Example
A developer submits "Database Migration Helper" skill. Our automated scan checks for dangerous commands. Our team reviews the code line-by-line for security issues. We test it in a sandbox environment. It passes all checks and gets "Verified" badge. Users see the badge and trust it won't harm their system.
Yes. Skills never execute code or access your files—they're pure text instructions that Claude reads. Claude Code runs in your terminal with your permissions. Skills can't steal data, modify files without your approval, or send information anywhere. You remain in complete control.
Proof
Skills are text-only (no code execution). Claude requires your approval for file changes. Zero data transmitted to AI Skill Market servers.
Example
You install "Financial Report Analyzer" skill. It tells Claude how to analyze financial data, but the skill itself can't read your files or upload data. When Claude wants to read a spreadsheet, you see the file path and approve it. The skill never touches your data—only Claude does, with your permission.
Our verification process blocks malicious skills before they reach you. Even if one somehow got through, Claude Code sandboxes all operations and asks your permission before making changes. Skills can't install software, open network connections, or modify files without explicit approval from you.
Proof
Zero successful attacks from marketplace skills. 99.7% of malicious submissions blocked during review. Multi-layer security (verification + sandboxing + user approval).
Example
A bad actor submits "Productivity Booster" skill that secretly tries to upload your code to external servers. Our automated scan detects the network call pattern. Manual review confirms malicious intent. Submission rejected before publication. The skill never reaches our marketplace—users never see it.
No. Skills can't read environment variables, access credential files, or see API keys. They're isolated from your system's secrets. If a skill needs credentials (like for cloud deployment), Claude Code prompts you to input them—the skill never stores or transmits them.
Proof
Skills cannot access environment variables. Zero credential leaks reported. Claude Code isolates secrets from skill instructions.
Example
You install "AWS Deployment Helper" skill. It tells Claude how to deploy to AWS, but can't read your AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable. When deployment runs, Claude Code prompts: "This operation requires AWS credentials." You enter them interactively. The skill never sees or stores your keys.
We collect zero personal data. No accounts required, no tracking cookies, no analytics on your skill usage. When you install a skill, we don't know who you are, what you're building, or how you use it. Our business model is marketplace fees from creators, not selling your data.
Proof
Zero personal data collected. No login required. No usage tracking. GDPR compliant by design.
Example
You install "Healthcare Data Processor" skill for HIPAA-compliant work. We never know you installed it, never see your healthcare data, never track how you use it. The install happens directly from GitHub to your machine—our servers never touch your data.
