Anthropic publishes Agent Skills repository and specification
Anthropic’s public repository contains its implementation of Agent Skills for Claude, the specification, a skill template, and examples for creative, technical, enterprise, and document workflows. Many skills use the Apache 2.0 license, while the DOCX, PDF, PPTX, and XLSX document skills are source-available rather than open source. Skills can be installed through Claude Code or uploaded to Claude.ai and the Claude API. Anthropic says Claude dynamically loads instructions, scripts, and resources to improve performance on specialized tasks, but the repository warns that Claude’s implementation and behavior may differ from the examples and advises testing skills before critical use.
The release gives developers a specification, reusable examples, a template, and several product-access paths for extending Claude with task-specific instructions and resources.

Skills
Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks. Skills teach Claude how to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way, whether that's creating documents with your company's brand guidelines, analyzing data using your organization's specific workflows, or automating personal tasks.
