--- title: Best Official Skills slug: best-official-skills type: collection canonical: https://top-agent-skills.com/collections/best-official-skills skills: 67 rubric: 1.0 updated: 2026-08-24 --- # Best Official Skills Anthropic's own Skills are the reference set: frontend-design for interfaces, the docx/pdf/xlsx/pptx quartet for the file formats every business runs on, skill-creator for writing your own, and sales-plugin and workos for the two vendor workflows Anthropic ships end to end. Start here before evaluating anything community-built — these are the Skills the format was designed around, and the ones most likely to still work after an agent update. 67 Skills, ranked by composite score (https://top-agent-skills.com/about/methodology). ## The picks ### 1. frontend-design — score 92/100 (official-anthropic) Escape generic AI-generated UIs. Forces a bold, distinctive design direction before any code is written. - Best for: Greenfield landing pages, marketing sites, and any UI that should feel intentional rather than templated. - Not ideal for: Ports of an existing design system — frontend-design pushes a bold direction that may overwrite established tokens. - Publisher: Anthropic · MIT - Verified on: claude-code, claude-ai, claude-api, cursor, codex, gemini-cli, antigravity ```bash npx skills add github.com/anthropics/skills --skill frontend-design ``` Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/frontend-design (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/frontend-design.md) ### 2. sales-plugin — score 58/100 (official-anthropic) Anthropic's own sales stack: research → outreach → call prep → pipeline, nine skills in one plugin. - Best for: A founder or AE running account research, outreach drafts, and pipeline reviews from Claude, with whatever CRM and enrichment connectors the team already uses. - Not ideal for: Writing back into a CRM out of the box — the skills research, draft, and analyze; CRM actions depend on which connectors you attach. - Publisher: Anthropic · Apache-2.0 - Verified on: claude-code ```bash /plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins ``` Full entry: https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/sales-plugin (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/sales-plugin.md) ### 3. workos — score 54/100 (official-anthropic) Full-stack WorkOS implementation with auth provider migration paths. - Best for: Adding WorkOS auth to a new app, or migrating from Auth0/Clerk/Cognito/Firebase/Supabase/Stytch/Descope/Better Auth. - Publisher: Anthropic · MIT - Verified on: claude-code, cursor, codex, antigravity Install: Built into Claude Code.
