Best Claude Skills: Complete Guide 2025
Compare PRPM vs ctx.directory, SkillsMP, and CursorHow for discovering Claude skills
The Current State
Looking for a large collection of Claude skills? You'll find scattered options across multiple platforms with no unified access:
- ctx.directory - Browse by creator, copy markdown files
- SkillsMP - Search marketplace, download files
- Claude Code Templates - GitHub Pages collection, manual copy
- Claude Plugins - Third-party plugin directory (different from skills)
- GitHub repos, Twitter, Reddit
PRPM provides a large collection of Claude skills unified with Cursor rules, Copilot instructions, and more — all in one searchable registry with CLI installation and version control.
💡 Note: Skills vs Anthropic's Plugin System
Claude Code has an official plugin system that packages slash commands, subagents, MCP servers, and hooks. Skills are markdown files with instructions that can be part of plugins.
PRPM focuses on cross-platform package distribution (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) with CLI installation and version control, while Anthropic's plugins are Claude Code-specific. Learn more about the difference →
