How to choose

find-skills is the general pick. It runs npx skills find, checks install counts and gives an install command for each match, installing only if you agree. It needs Node.js with npx. Caveman suits developers who want Claude to say less, from 72-character commit subjects to one-line review notes.

Pick by the tool your team uses. Lark CLI skills drive lark-cli for Docs, Sheets, Drive and Wiki, and most of their text is in Chinese. The gws skills need the gws CLI: gws-shared holds sign-in and safety rules, gws-gmail reads and triages mail, and gws-gmail-send sends or drafts.

Obsidian users get three skills from Steph Ango: obsidian-markdown writes notes with wikilinks and callouts, obsidian-bases writes .base views, and obsidian-cli works on an open vault. claude-obsidian, a set of 16 skills, files your sources into a linked Markdown wiki after a dry run you approve.

Three picks do focused jobs. book-to-skill turns a book or PDF into a skill with chapter summaries and a cheatsheet. prompt-master writes one ready-to-paste prompt for a named AI tool. watch answers questions about a video link or file, with ffmpeg and yt-dlp for its local engine.

Some picks spend money or send data out. create-payment-credential pays merchants from your Link wallet, with each spend approved in the Link app and a $500 cap per request. summarize and anysearch send links or queries to outside services. At least one scanner rated orca-linear and gstack high risk.
