    Stripe's answer to agentic checkout: one-time payment credentials so an agent can buy without ever seeing the underlying card.

  3. 3.qdrant-advisor

    A self-updating vector-database skill: it fetches current Qdrant guidance at run time instead of shipping a snapshot that rots.

  4. 4.dbhub

    One skill across Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB and SQLite — and its actual job is forcing explore-before-query on real schemas.

  5. 5.composio

    1,000+ SaaS integrations as one skill. OAuth lifecycle, scoped credentials, structured actions.

About AI/ML & Agent Tooling

The best agent skills for AI/ML and agent tooling in 2026 are Anthropic's official `skill-creator`, `mcp-builder`, and `claude-api` Skills — the canonical patterns for scaffolding new SKILL.md files, building MCP servers in FastMCP or the TypeScript SDK, and integrating the Claude API with prompt caching and the Agent SDK. AI/ML & agent tooling Skills are the meta-layer — Skills that help you build other Skills, MCP servers, agent infrastructure, and Claude API applications. The category centers on Anthropic's official skill-creator, mcp-builder, and claude-api Skills, which encode the canonical patterns for each.

Common workflows include scaffolding a new Skill from a single description, running evaluations to test a Skill's triggering accuracy, optimizing a Skill's description for better LLM dispatch, building a new MCP server in Python (FastMCP) or TypeScript (MCP SDK), wiring prompt caching into a Claude API application, migrating Claude API code between model versions, and authoring agent personas with custom system prompts. Several Skills target the upcoming Claude Agent SDK for custom agent runtimes.

AI engineers, builders shipping AI products, MCP server authors, and indie developers writing custom Skills use these heavily. Composite scoring is dominated by provenance (Anthropic-authored Skills sit at the top), recency (these Skills age fast as models and SDKs evolve), and the quality of bundled examples — Skills that ship working code samples vastly outperform pure-documentation Skills.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What does skill-creator do?

It scaffolds a new Skill from a description, generates the SKILL.md with proper frontmatter, sets up the directory structure, and includes any helper scripts. It also runs evals to measure how reliably the Skill triggers.

How do I build an MCP server?

Use the mcp-builder Skill — it walks you through FastMCP (Python) or the MCP TypeScript SDK, sets up the tool definitions, handles auth, and tests the server against Claude Code.

When should I migrate Claude API code to a new model?

The claude-api Skill handles migration between Claude 4.5 → 4.6 → 4.7 and replaces references to retired models. Run it after any major Anthropic announcement.

Do these Skills include prompt caching guidance?

Yes — claude-api enforces prompt-cache adoption in new applications, since the 5-minute TTL meaningfully changes how you structure conversations.

Is the Claude Agent SDK supported?

Several Skills target the Agent SDK for custom runtime work — subagents, headless mode, custom tools — but the surface is moving quickly. Check the lastUpdated field.
