Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Lets Claude Code, Cursor and others read and edit Figma designs via a plugin bridge: batch-change colors and fonts, check contrast, generate component code. Free Figma accounts work. Needs Node.js, Figma Desktop, the local WebSocket server running and the plugin imported.

Compares two versions of a LaTeX manuscript and produces a .tex that marks additions and deletions in color and strikethrough; compile it for a tracked-changes PDF to show reviewers, or diff versions from Git history. Ships with TeX Live and MiKTeX; needs Perl.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Turns a prompt or still image into a looping animated icon with real transparency, output as animated WebP. It generates one still with GPT Image or Nano Banana, waits for approval, animates it via Seedance on OpenRouter, then mattes and encodes it. Needs Python, ffmpeg and paid API keys.

Two prompt skills: video writes storyboard-style prompts for Seedance, Kling, Veo and more like a director, writer and editor; image writes art-director prompts for Nano Banana and GPT Image, recommending a model per task. Prompts only, generate on the platforms; no API key.

Turns web pages, long PDFs, Word files, images or code into tutor-style study notes: Markdown notes plus searchable HTML knowledge cards with concept breakdowns and mind maps. Needs Python 3.8+, plus Chrome for some sites; the optional tutor chat needs an OpenAI-compatible API key.

Anthropic's official research skill built on Fischbach and Walsh's problem-selection framework (Cell): a conversational guide to refining project ideas, assessing risk and success criteria, unblocking stalled research and choosing directions. No setup or account needed.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

PubMed plugin from Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects to the US National Library of Medicine's remote MCP to search biomedical literature and research papers. No account needed.

Official BioRender plugin in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects Claude Code to BioRender's scientific icons, templates and figures to find assets and make paper figures, lecture slides and talk graphics. Needs a free BioRender account; authorize it in /plugin after installing.

Plugin from Wiley in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects the Scholar Gateway remote MCP for semantic search across Wiley's peer-reviewed journals, with answers carrying checkable citations and DOI links. Good for literature reviews. Needs a free Scholar Gateway account.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

Lets agents read dbt project models, lineage and Semantic Layer metrics, run build, run and test commands, and call the dbt platform Discovery and Admin APIs. Maintained by dbt Labs; Semantic Layer and platform tools need a dbt platform account.

DAIR.AI learning plugin that turns YouTube lectures and talks into local study material: extracts slide frames, builds timestamped transcripts, and lets you take notes and review in a bundled web viewer. Needs Python, yt-dlp and ffmpeg.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.

Read and write Figma from the terminal with commands or JSX: create frames and components, insert Iconify icons, set layout, and export nodes as JSX or Storybook; can also run as an MCP server. Needs Figma Desktop; version 126+ requires daemon --pipe mode.

Reads an article or document, pulls out the key points and generates an illustration for each, plus an optional cover. Three styles (gradient glass, ticket, vector illustration) and 16:9 or 3:4 ratios for blogs, slides and social posts. Needs a Gemini API key and Python.

Eight workflow skills for designers prototyping with AI: requirements interviews, briefs, information architecture, design tokens, task breakdown, UI in a chosen aesthetic and design review, chained by design-flow. Outputs go to .design in the project. For Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.

Elastic's official skills teaching agents to use Elasticsearch and Kibana correctly: index design, ES|QL queries, search relevance tuning, dashboards, observability troubleshooting and security alert triage. Currently a technical preview.

Chroma's official MCP: lets agents create and manage collections, add documents, and retrieve them with vector search, full-text search and metadata filters. Connects to in-memory or local persistent stores, self-hosted instances or Chroma Cloud.

Official Sleek skill: lets agents design mobile app screens in Sleek, manage projects and take preview screenshots, then pull the design HTML and implement it in React Native or SwiftUI. Needs a Sleek account and API key; free accounts get one trial run, ongoing use needs a paid Pro plan.

33 cognitive-science-based tutoring skills for K-12 math and science, exam prep, university subjects, academic writing and job interviews, using Socratic questions and spaced review rather than giving answers. In Chinese and English; copy the skills folder into your agent manually.
