- Fair pricing and a guarantee - instant download, refund if it doesn't deliver.
Where to get Claude skills
1. KissMySkills - curated role-based marketplace
KissMySkills is a curated Claude skills marketplace organized by professional role - marketing, sales, work & business, coding (Claude Code skills), legal & finance, and more. Every skill is a drop-in file with a 30-day guarantee, plus a free collection and free generators to try first. See the curated Awesome Claude Skills list to start.
2. Official Anthropic skills
Anthropic ships built-in document skills (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, PDF) that Claude can use automatically. They're a solid baseline; role-specific marketplaces add depth the official set doesn't cover.
3. Free directories and community repos
Free directories and community GitHub repositories list many skills. They're great for browsing and learning, though quality and support vary - useful alongside a curated marketplace rather than instead of one.
Prompts and agents, too
Skills are one of three related formats. If you want a single instruction, a prompt pack may be enough; if you want end-to-end task execution, look at AI agents. Our guide on agents vs skills vs prompts explains the difference.
Start with your busiest task
Whichever marketplace you pick, choose the skill for the task you repeat most - it pays back fastest. Browse the full Claude skills marketplace or test the workflow with a free generator.
