  "account": "Claude Code, a tool used for various tasks at work, has traditionally maintained a separate repository for each skill it performs. Over time, as more skills were added, this resulted in 11 individual repositories. The author then decided to consolidate all these skills into a single repository called \"claude-skills.\" This repository now contains 125 skills spread across 16 plugins, seamlessly copied from the original 11 sources and kept synchronized with them.\n\nThe consolidated repository, claude-skills, includes skills for agent security, agent identity governance, AWS security, Microsoft 365 governance, compliance evidence, everyday development, repository engineering, ways of working, Claude Code setup, GitHub management, and Mac maintenance. Each skill is accompanied by a detailed description, usage instructions, and limitations. The repository also ensures honesty by regularly syncing changes from the source repositories and maintaining a detailed log of which source repository each skill originated from.\n\nTo install the repository, users can run a single command in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add basitalisandhu/claude-skills /plugin install aws-security@claude-skills. Alternatively, users can clone the repository from GitHub and run a Python installer script. The installer is lightweight Python code without any dependencies. Other agents that support the Agent Skills format can also install the skills using npx skills add basitalisandhu/claude-skills.\n\nWhile the repository provides a comprehensive set of skills, it is important to note that these skills operate offline and do not make any network calls or send telemetry. Additionally, the bundled scripts are standard-library Python, and every skill description includes a \"Limits\" section to clarify what the skill cannot do. If there are any issues or bugs, users are encouraged to open an issue or a pull request on the respective source repository, or report the problem on the claude-skills repository itself.",
  "summary": "Most of what I ask Claude Code to do at work is the same few jobs: check an AWS account, review a Conditional Access setup, threat model an agent, build an evidence pack for an auditor, tidy a repository. Over the year each of those became a skill, and the skills grew into eleven repositories. This article is about the one repository that now holds all of them, and about where it stops. Why one…",
