Claude Code skills marketplace with a paranoid meta-builder
A plugin registry for Claude Code that treats skill-building like release engineering, not prompt doodling.

What it does
This repository functions as a plugin marketplace for Claude Code, collecting 53 task-specific skills that range from GitHub operations and document conversion to Terraform troubleshooting and audio processing. The centerpiece is skill-creator, a hardened fork of Anthropic’s official tool for building, validating, and packaging new skills. Everything installs through Claude Code’s native plugin system.
The interesting bit
The author treats prompt engineering like infrastructure: skill-creator includes a security_scan.py gate with gitleaks integration, expanded YAML validators, and documented failure patterns rather than happy-path prose. The repo even includes an 8-dimension scorecard rating this fork 65/80 against the official tool’s 42/80—methodology included, grain of salt optional.
Key highlights
- 53 skills covering docs, GitHub ops, UI design extraction, meeting minutes, and more
skill-creatoradds 9 structured user checkpoints and cache-edit warnings the official omits- Security scanning and prerequisite checks are hard gates before packaging
- Skills ship individually or as themed suites (
daymade-docs,daymade-claude-code) - MIT licensed with versioned releases
Caveats
- Several high-value suites are bundle-only, forcing you to install the whole docs or Claude Code ops suite even if you only need one skill
- The README is largely an installation catalog and GIF gallery; deep behavior is offloaded to per-skill
SKILL.mdfiles
Verdict Worth browsing if you live in Claude Code and want pre-baked workflows with actual guardrails. Skip it if you don’t use Claude Code or prefer writing your own ad-hoc prompts.
