Search them, install them with one command, no account. Each one produces a finished piece of work, not a report about your work. How we test →
This directory is a Claude Code plugin marketplace as well as a web page. Adding it costs one command, and it needs no account, no desktop app and no working out which folder a skill belongs in.
/plugin marketplace add mkhalid1/locul-skills
/plugin to browse the bundles, one per task category, and install the ones you want. Claude Code puts the skills where it already looks for them.SKILL.md to copy or download. These files are plain markdown with no tool bindings, so they also work in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and anything else that reads an instruction file.The marketplace is a public GitHub repository, which is the whole distribution: github.com/mkhalid1/locul-skills. You can read every file before you install it, and updates arrive when you pull.
Written, reviewed and free to take. No run behind them, so no claim about what they do to an output. What that means.
Skills are organised by the job you are doing, not the job title you have.
They produce the artifact. 19 of these build something that did not exist before, and 4 rewrites something you already have. That is 100 per cent of the library, against 0 per cent that audit. The distinction is the whole filing rule and it is computed from a table in the repository rather than typed by hand, so it cannot quietly drift.
This is a correction, and it is worth being blunt about what it corrects. An earlier version of this directory ran to over a hundred skills and roughly four out of five of them were audits: files that read something you had already made and handed back a list of findings. Several were good. Almost none was a thing a person would go looking for, because an audit is usually a one-off errand rather than a job you do again on Tuesday. That library was withdrawn in full in August 2026 rather than pruned, and this one was built from an empty directory.
The platform facts are dated, or they are not here. Most published advice about any platform is folklore with a confident number attached. Where a constraint is documented, these files state it with the date it was checked and a route back to the source. Where the number in circulation turns out to be unverifiable, and a surprising amount of it is, the file says so and the method is built so it does not depend on the answer. A skill that repeats a plausible figure nobody can confirm is worse than one that admits the gap, because you cannot tell which half to trust.
None of them is measured, and every card says so. There is a harness behind this project. It runs a realistic task on real material, runs the identical task again with the skill removed, 5 runs each way, and grades every output alone against a rubric written by someone who has never seen the skill, by a session that is not told the other arm exists. It has been used. It has deleted skills that failed, including one that was statistically significant and still cut because the size of the effect came in under a line fixed before the first run. Nothing in this library has been through it yet. Until something has, the cards claim nothing about what these files do to an output.
Unmeasured is not a synonym for untrustworthy, and it is not a synonym for tested either. It means we have not run the experiment, so we are not going to tell you the result. The full method, the historical results table, and the round we had to throw away.
Yes, and there is more than one, because Claude Code ships the mechanism rather than the shop. Anyone can publish a plugin marketplace: you add one with a single command and browse what is inside it. This page is one of them. Others index public GitHub repositories in bulk and run to hundreds of thousands of entries, which is a search problem rather than a library. This one holds 23 skills across 5 task categories, each written for a specific job and each labelled with what we have and have not tested.
Yes. Every skill here is free, MIT licensed, and needs no account. There is no email to hand over and nothing to sign up for. The install command is free, the raw SKILL.md on every skill page is free to copy or download, and the full source of each skill is printed on its own page so you can read the whole thing before you take it. Locul, the desktop app this directory came out of, has paid tiers. Nothing on this page sits behind them.
Inside Claude Code, run /plugin once you have added a marketplace: that lists the bundles it carries and installs the ones you pick. Claude Desktop manages the skills you have already added through its settings panel. To browse before you install anything, use a web directory like this one, where you can search 23 skills by name, task or trigger, read the full source, and see the section on each page that says what the skill does not do.
A plugin marketplace is a git repository with a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json catalogue in it. Adding one tells Claude Code where to find a set of plugins. Installing a plugin copies its skills, and any commands or agents it ships with, into your setup, and updates arrive the next time you pull. That is the whole mechanism. It is distribution plumbing rather than a store: there is no payment, no ranking, and no approval queue in it, which is also why the labelling on whatever you install is worth reading.
Three steps, and the first two are commands. Run /plugin marketplace add mkhalid1/locul-skills in Claude Code to register this directory. Run /plugin to see the bundles and install the ones you want. Start a new session, and Claude Code picks each skill up from the name and description in its frontmatter, so you can also call one by name. The same shape works for any marketplace: swap the owner and repository in the first command.
Adding skills on top of a CLAUDE.md you have not read in months is how a setup gets confusing. There is a free CLAUDE.md analyser on this site that reads yours back to you before you stack anything else on it, and it needs no account either.
No. Anthropic documents the plugin marketplace mechanism and publishes plugins and example skills of its own, but it does not run a storefront where third-party skills are listed, ranked or approved. Every marketplace you add is built by somebody else, including this one. Anything advertising itself as the official Anthropic skills marketplace is not one, and that is worth knowing before you install from it.
Yes, and the repository is the distribution rather than a mirror of it. The install command points at github.com/mkhalid1/locul-skills, which is public. You can read every file before installing it, diff an update before pulling it, and open an issue against a skill that is wrong. Nothing about this library needs the desktop app: the app is a second path for people who already have it, not a gate in front of the files.
Locul puts a skill in the right folder for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Codex, scrubs any environment variables before they reach you, and keeps the memory those skills read from up to date by itself. Mac and Windows.
