Table of Contents

Learn how to supercharge Claude Code with 15 tested agent skills that automate code review, debugging, SEO, video production, and team workflows. Each skill below was installed and tested on real projects — we show you exactly what it does, when to use it, and how to install it in under 10 seconds.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed (v2.1+)
  • A project directory where you want skills active
  • Basic familiarity with the terminal

What Are Agent Skills?

Agent skills are Markdown files that teach Claude Code how to perform specific tasks. Drop a .md file into .claude/commands/ or install one from TokRepo, and Claude gains a new capability — no code, no MCP server, no configuration beyond the file itself.

If you're new to skills, read How to Create Your First Agent Skill first. For a comparison with MCP servers and rules, see Skills vs MCP vs Rules.

The 15 Best Claude Code Skills

1. Get Shit Done (GSD)

Install:

tokrepo install e108cf5c-c34e-4d27-a694-66a693301e87

Why it ranks #1: GSD solves the biggest Claude Code pain point — losing context on large projects. It creates persistent .planning/ directories with roadmaps, phase plans, and progress tracking that survive across sessions. 48,600+ GitHub stars speak for themselves.

5. Systematic Debugging — 4-Phase Root Cause Analysis

What it does: Applies a structured debugging methodology: reproduce → isolate → diagnose → fix. Manages debug sessions with persistent state, checkpoints, and hypothesis tracking.

6. Planning with Files — Persistent Planning Skill
