I Scraped 1,200,000 Claude Skills. These Are The Most Popular

0:00There are over 1.3 million Claude skills out there, but 95% of them are completely useless. I spent the last few days scraping skills across GitHub, Reddit, and X, ranging from skills with over 200,000 GitHub stars to others made by big companies like H and and Wessel. From a skill that puts an AI assistant in your WhatsApp to one that clones any website to one that claims to cut your token usage by five times. Here are the 15 most powerful Claude skills, and the best one comes last. You find all 15 skills plus a few bonus skills in this free guide that I've linked up below in

0:42the video description. Now, installing any of these skills works the same way. Just paste the skill's link into Claude code and say, "Install this for me." Starting with skill number 15, we are kicking things off with a trick that honestly feels like cheating. Here's the thing nobody tells you about Claude limits. Every PDF you drop in, Claude reads it, every page, every word. Drop in 50 documents and your limit is gone by lunch. Now, Google has a free tool called Gemini notebook, also known as Notebook LM, that does nothing but read documents all day. So, what if Claude just handed the reading of those documents over to notebook? All you need

1:26is skill number 15, Notebook LM. It lets Claude drive Notebook LM like it's sitting at your keyboard. It creates a notebook, it uploads your document, it asks the questions, and brings back the answers with the sources about every single one of those files. It's like having an intern who reads every single page and only hands you the summary. And once the skill is connected, you can ask Claude things like, "Make a notebook from my PDFs and give me the three main

1:58points. And now Claude hands the reading to Notebook LM. And the answer will come back right here in Claude with the sources. A fair warning though, the skill is unofficial, so it's not coming from Google itself. So if Google changes something, it could break. Okay, we got Google working for Claude. That's a good start, but if you thought that was

2:22sneaky, wait until you see number 14. Great question. Let me think about this. Your auth flow has a few moving pieces. The middleware, the token verification, and the cookie handling. And after three paragraphs, you still don't have a clear answer from Claude. Cuz Claude loves to talk. Skill number 14 shuts that down. It's called I have ADHD. Yes, that's a real name, and it has over 57,000 stars. It gives Claude 10 rules. Action first, number steps, no filler, no

2:56recap, no hope this helps at the end. One step and then stop. It's like a friend who answers your questions instead of telling you their life story first. And no, you don't need ADHD to use it. You just need to be tired of scrolling through long Claude replies. So after it's connected, step one, ask it anything. How do I fix my slow website? Step two, you get a response back saying do this, then this, then this, and done. Short nice, but number 13 goes after this that makes long Claude chats so expensive. Here's something most people don't realize about long Claude chats. Every time you send a message, Claude reads the entire

3:41conversation again, all the way up to the beginning. So that's like 50 or 100 messages that are sent back and forth. That's why long sessions eat up your limit so fast. The fix, stop making Claude carry everything. Skill number 13 is billion context. It sits between your AI tool and the model and squeezes the old part of the chat into short summaries. Claude keeps the important stuff and drops the dead weight. Think of it like packing for a trip. You don't bring your whole wardrobe, you bring only what you need. The author claims five times your tokens use in single

4:21sessions that run for months. He even wrote a paper about it. Four and a half months of use, 174,000 model calls. But that's his own test and I couldn't find anyone else who measured the token savings. So, test it in your own chats. So, just install it and then keep chatting and the old stuff gets compressed in the background. It's a tiny skill project about just over a thousand stars on GitHub. Number 12 is the most installed skills of all. 3.9 million installations. The most installed skill on the entire skills.sh leaderboard. And what does it do? It finds other skills. That's it. Of course, I'm talking about find skills

5:07from Wersel. After it's connected, after you've installed it, you ask Claude plain words like, "Is there a skill for writing PDF guides?" And then it searches the whole skills directory and it comes back with matches plus the install command for each one. It's like a search engine for skills that lives inside Claude. So, the next time, instead of watching a 20-minute video like this one, install that skill from Wersel Labs instead. Okay, maybe still watch this video. You can spot AI

5:42writing instantly. Listen to this. "Nestled in the heart of the city, our cafe stands as a testament to the town's rich cultural heritage. Nobody [clears throat] Nobody talks like that. Only AI does. And the second a reader spots that, they stop trusting in reading the rest. Skill number 11 fixes that. It's called the AI writing. With almost 900 upvotes on Reddit, here is what it's clever. The skill does not guess what AI writing looks like. It uses Wikipedia's own list of signs of writing. The words AI loves, like belve, which means to look into, and the long dashes AI puts in every second sentence. Here's the same cafe

6:26sentence after the skill has run. Our cafe is on the main square in a building that has been a bakery since 1911. And it tells you what it has changed, so you can undo anything you don't like. The author of this skill says it can reduce AI detectability by 70 to 95%. This one has no link to install the skill. You just copy the entire instructions, paste them into Claude,

6:53then you say, "Turn this into a skill." Skill number 10 saves you the meeting where you have to explain how technical or complicated things work. Like you hop on a call to explain how your AI automation or agent works. 20 minutes later, your client nods, but they didn't get it. Or just polite. Skill number 10 fixes that. It's called Archify. It has over 83,000 stars. You describe a process in one sentence, and it draws it as an

7:24interactive diagram in a single file. Now, they can click every step and see what happens next. A travel plan, a learning plan, how your business runs. It's the difference between explaining the route and handing someone a map. And if you sell an AI automation, this is how you show a client how what you build works. Skill number nine puts AI in your pocket, literally, in WhatsApp. One guy built this over a weekend, and six weeks later, he shut down his own startup and signed a deal with Docker, a big SaaS company. It's called Nanoclaw, and it has over 31,000 GitHub stars. It went viral on Hacker News, and Andrej

8:08Karpathy, a superstar in the AI space, posted about it. Why? It's a personal AI assistant that lives in WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, or AI message. You text it like a friend. It remembers what you told it, and it runs jobs on a schedule, like a summary of your day every evening. Here's a twist. The big project it competes with has nearly half a million lines of code. The creator said he couldn't sleep giving software he didn't understand full access to his life. So, Nanoclaw is small enough to actually understand, and every agent runs in its own sealed container. Okay, your assistant is sorted. Number Skill number eight has over 220,000 stars, and

8:55it isn't even a skill. It's just one text file that contains four rules. You ask Claude to fix one line, and it rewrites half of your project, adds three features you never asked for, and proudly says, "Done." This skill fixes it. Of course, I'm talking about Karpathy's Claude MD file, one of the best-known names in AI. Think before coding. Simplicity first. Surgical

9:18changes. Only touch what you asked for. Goal-driven execution, meaning give Claude a goal it can check. That's it. That's the whole file, and it has more stars than almost every real skill on this list. We are halfway there. Let's take a quick break. If you want to get AI or Claude fully automate multiple processes, not just single tasks with skills, I've got over 70 ready-made AI agents and automations inside my AI systems library. You can get instant access by clicking the first link below in the video description. Okay, skill number seven comes from one of the fastest growing AI video companies, fade in title and animated intro. Fade in

10:04title We also have some music in editing software. Making this video could take 1 hour of your life. And then you watch it and the timing is off. What if you just described it? The skill is called hyperframes. It's from HeyGen. It has over 64,000 stars. You describe the video in plain words and Claude builds a real video file with titles, animations, background footage, music, rendered and ready. It's a motion designer that works from one sentence. Skill number six is the most starred skill set on all of GitHub. Over 292,000 stars. Here is how AI coding usually goes. Claude writes a thousands of lines in 5 minutes. It feels amazing. Then you

10:48spend the next 3 days figuring out which part broke everything. Now that skill is from Matt Pocock. He teaches programmers for a living and these are the skills he uses every day. His page lists four problems they fix. The agent didn't know what I want. The agent is too verbose. The code doesn't work and my favorite, we built a ball of mud, meaning a mess that nobody can untangle anymore. The problem isn't that Claude codes too slowly. The problem is it starts

11:16building before it knows what you want. So his skill slow it down where it matters. A skill called grill me asks you questions until the plan is clear. Another one makes Claude write tests before the code and another one makes it review its own work. All right, top five. This is a This is where it gets crazy. 50 job applications, 50 cover letters, two replies. Skill number five is Career Ops, over 74,000 stars. You paste a job posting, and it checks if that job is even still open. It scores how well you fit. It rewrites your CV for that exact jobs, and drafts your answers, all on your own computer. Then

11:55you check everything and press submit. It's like having a recruiter on your side for once. The author says it went through 740 job listings, and eventually landed one job. And his page has a whole wall of people saying they got hired. Skill number four got over 40,000 stars in less than a month. And today it has over 127,000

12:19stars. The skill is called Graphify. Your notes, your PDFs, your screenshots, your videos, your code, are all involved are all in one folder, and you have no idea what connects to what. Once the skill is connected, all you do is you type {slash} graphify in your AI coding assistant, and then it reads everything in that folder, every file, every file type, and then it builds you a map with every file and how it links to every other file. And people use it for way more than code. The author says people throw in meeting recordings, research papers, even whiteboard photos. One user tested it himself and had 75% less

12:56tokens wasted, and answers in half the time. But a fair warning, not everyone is a fan. Some people in the same thread question whether those stars were real. Top three, here we go. You find a website you love, the fonts, the colors, the layout. Now, depending on the complexity of the page, it could take a web designer or developer a few days to replicate. And skill number three does that, only from a website link. And it's called AI website cloner template. It has almost 37,000 stars. You just type in {slash} clone website, paste in the website URL, and then Claude rebuilds the page using the same fonts, the same

13:34colors, the same structure. Here on the left you see the original page, and on the right the website that this skill cloned. They're looking quite similar, almost identical. And yes, you could hand clone a screenshot, but a screenshot is a picture. But this skill starts from the actual website. One rule though, clone your own website or the

13:57one you have permissions to use. Ask Claude how something works and you get a wall of text. Ask again and you get a bigger wall of text. Now, skill number two doesn't explain, it builds. Of course, I'm talking about anatomy. You ask how something works and it turns that idea into a drawing of a real object that you can turn, zoom into, take apart piece by piece, right in your browser. Here's one from its own gallery, a SpaceX Raptor rocket engine, first firing and then taking apart, so you can see what every single thing does. It's like a textbook diagram, except you can take it apart. It's the

14:35kind of graphic you'd screenshot for a video, a lesson, or a client. Just type in {slash} anatomy and then your question. And now, number one. You see a feature in someone else's app and you want that in your own app, but you don't have their code. So, you guess and you guess wrong. Skill number one doesn't guess, I'm talking about Ria. Reverse engineer everything. It has over 255,000 stars. You point Claude at a finished app, one you've never seen the code of, and it works out how a feature actually works. It shows you the evidence for every conclusion, and then it builds a

15:10similar feature into your own project. They own showcase, they pointed it at Notion and tracked exactly how copy and paste works inside the app step by step all the way through. It's an x-ray for apps. The problem was never that you can't build the feature. The problem is that you can't see the code inside the app. Now you can. That's all. The free guide with all the skills and a few bonus ones, including every installation command, is in the second link below in the video description. And if you want the AI and cloud systems to fully automate processes in your business, the

15:48link to my library is right above it.
