Overview
About This Skill
Ordinary Claude Skills is a massive local repository aggregating over 600 official and community-built Claude skills organized across categories like science, software engineering, infrastructure, data, business, creative work, and web3. Skills are prompt packages and scripts that teach Claude how to perform specific tasks without requiring repeated context, loading only when needed to preserve token usage. Teams can browse the indexed static site or clone the repository locally to integrate skills into their MCP servers, custom Claude.ai implementations, or agent workflows. The standardized folder structure makes it easy to locate and configure skills for specific use cases, from API design and debugging to Kubernetes automation and smart contract development.
How to Use
[{"step":"Identify the specific automation task you need to perform (e.g., data retrieval, file processing, API calls).","action":"Use the prompt template to generate a reusable code snippet by filling in [TASK], [SPECIFIC_FUNCTIONALITY], [COMMON_ERRORS], [FUNCTION_NAME], and any other placeholders.","tip":"Be specific about the functionality needed. For example, instead of 'handling errors', specify 'handling rate limiting and authentication failures'."},{"step":"Copy the generated code snippet into your Claude project or automation script.","action":"Replace placeholder values (like API keys) with your actual credentials or configuration. Test the function with sample inputs.","tip":"Use Claude's built-in testing tools to verify the function works as expected before deploying it in production."},{"step":"Integrate the function into your workflow by calling it from other parts of your code or automation pipeline.","action":"For example, if the function fetches invoices, use it in a loop to process each invoice or trigger follow-up actions like sending reminders.","tip":"Add logging to track function calls and errors. Use Claude's logging capabilities to monitor performance."},{"step":"Save the snippet in a shared library or documentation for reuse across your team.","action":"Store the code in a version-controlled repository or Claude's skill library. Document any dependencies or prerequisites.","tip":"Include example usage and edge cases in the documentation to help other team members adopt the snippet quickly."},{"step":"Optimize the snippet based on feedback or changing requirements.","action":"Review the function's performance and error handling. Update the code as needed to accommodate new use cases or improved error handling.","tip":"Use Claude's code review features to get feedback on the snippet's efficiency and readability."}]

Usage Examples
Prompt Template
Generate a reusable code snippet for [TASK] using Claude's API. The snippet should handle [SPECIFIC_FUNCTIONALITY] and include error handling for [COMMON_ERRORS]. Format the code as a Python function named [FUNCTION_NAME] with clear docstrings and type hints. Example: 'Generate a Python function called `fetch_invoices` that retrieves unpaid invoices from a database using Claude's API, handles connection errors, and returns a list of invoice IDs.'
Example Output
```python
import requests
from typing import List, Optional
def fetch_invoices(api_key: str, due_date: str) -> List[dict]:
"""
Retrieves a list of unpaid invoices from the database via Claude's API.
Args:
api_key: Claude API key for authentication
due_date: ISO format date (YYYY-MM-DD) to filter overdue invoices
Returns:
List of invoice dictionaries with keys: id, customer_name, amount, due_date
Returns empty list if no invoices found or on error
Raises:
ValueError: If due_date is not in valid format
"""
if not validate_date_format(due_date):
raise ValueError("Invalid date format. Use YYYY-MM-DD")
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
payload = {
"query": "SELECT id, customer_name, amount, due_date FROM invoices WHERE paid=false AND due_date < :due_date",
"params": {"due_date": due_date}
}
try:
response = requests.post(
"https://api.claude.com/v1/query",
json=payload,
headers=headers,
timeout=10
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json().get("results", [])
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"API request failed: {str(e)}")
return []
def validate_date_format(date_str: str) -> bool:
"""Validates ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD)"""
try:
from datetime import datetime
datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d")
return True
except ValueError:
return False
```
**Usage Example:**
```python
# In your Claude project
auth_key = "claude_sk_xyz123"
overdue_invoices = fetch_invoices(auth_key, "2023-11-15")
if overdue_invoices:
print(f"Found {len(overdue_invoices)} overdue invoices")
for invoice in overdue_invoices:
print(f"Invoice {invoice['id']} for ${invoice['amount']} due {invoice['due_date']}")
else:
print("No overdue invoices found or API error occurred")
