How I indexed 69,000 Claude Code skills (and what I learned doing it)
Adam Lankamer has created an open catalog of Claude Code skills, indexing over 69,000 SKILL.md files. The project aims to improve the discoverability of these skills, which previously lacked a centralized directory or aggregator. The catalog is built using a Python script that crawls multiple public sources to gather and validate the skills.
- ▪The catalog includes skills that are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter for Anthropic's Claude Code agent.
- ▪Lankamer's project addresses the issue of skill discovery, which was previously reliant on social media and random searches.
- ▪The catalog is designed to be open and free, with no fees for skill authors to list their skills.
