Best Claude Code Development skills

12,418

Ranked by quality score. Browse all 12,418 Development skills

Development is the catch-all for skills that make Claude Code better at writing application code: framework conventions for Next.js, Laravel or Go, SDK references for a specific API, scaffolding recipes, and step-by-step guides such as building an MCP server or a claude.ai artifact. Many of the highest-scoring entries are documentation folded into a SKILL.md so Claude reads the current idioms of a library instead of guessing from training data.

Reach for one when Claude keeps producing plausible but outdated code for a framework you use daily, or when a task has a known correct shape (a new MCP server, a new skill, a Bun backend) and you want the shape enforced rather than rediscovered every session. A framework skill pays for itself the first time it stops a deprecated API from landing in a pull request.

Installing a skill means putting its folder under ~/.claude/skills/ so that ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md exists; folders that ship scripts or reference files need the whole directory, which is why the install command on each entry page clones the repository rather than fetching one file. Claude Code loads the skill when a task matches the description in its frontmatter, so read that description before installing and check what tools it asks for. Start a new session afterwards.
