My Claude Skills

These are some of the skills I use in Claude Code. I've published them in my skill library on GitHub so anyone can use and adapt them. Where a skill included my personal details, I've replaced them with placeholders, and each skill's README says what to fill in.

My Claude Workflow Tips article covers how I use skills and how to write your own.

• app-audit: Audits every project in your apps folder against a fixed checklist, applies only provably safe fixes, and keeps everything else in a ledger for you to decide
• claude-md-audit: Audits any CLAUDE.md against the project it describes: verifies every checkable claim, fixes factual drift, and proposes rule changes for you to decide
• done: Checks whether you can leave a session with nothing forgotten: confirms every request, step, and promise at its source, then says what still needs you
• file-this: Recommends where a file from your downloads folder belongs and what to name it, after opening it and matching the destination folder's naming; it moves nothing until you say so
• gworkspace-api-personal: Lets Claude write to your Google Sheets, edit your Google Docs, and attach Drive files to Calendar events, through a small Apps Script web app you deploy from your own account
• improvement-log-review: Reviews the suggest-only improvement logs your skills keep and applies the proposals that hold up; it includes the prompt from my Make Your Skills Self-Improving tip that adds such a log to a skill
• next-step: Walks you through finishing a task one step at a time: Claude does the research and every part it can do itself, then gives one short step per message and waits for “done”
• open-in-chrome: Opens the home page of the project you're working in, or a page you name, in Google Chrome as a local file
• search: Search your past Claude sessions by what was said in them, across Claude Code, Cowork, and exported Claude Chat conversations, or list your Claude Code sessions by topic and open one
• surprise: An overnight run that builds a few things you did not ask for and leaves them in a dated folder, with strict rules about what it may touch
• transcript-path: Replies with the full path of the current session's transcript file, ready to copy
• video-transcript: Turns a link to an online video (YouTube, Vimeo, TED, and more) into a timestamped transcript, from the video's own captions or, when it has none, a local Whisper transcription

This list grows as I add skills; the README in the repo is always current.
