Give your coding agent thousands of community-proven skills - loaded on demand, mid-task.
It searches Skillselion, a curated directory of Claude Code skills, MCP servers & marketplaces ranked by real installs,
and pulls a skill's actual instructions + bundled files into the session. Proven patterns, not guesses.
🧩 Works with Claude Code · Claude Desktop · Cursor · Codex · any MCP client
[Real session: the agent calls synthesize_skills and builds a consensus playbook from 5 community skills]
Real, unedited session: the agent pulls a consensus playbook from 5 community skills, then loads the top skill and applies it.
🚀 Install
Claude Code - one line:
Claude Desktop / Cursor / Codex - add to your MCP config:
No build step, no auth, no API key. One ~30 KB file via npx.
Want it fully automatic? npx -y skillselion-mcp setup registers the server and installs a session hook so your agent loads the right skill the moment a task matches - see Skill autopilot.

[Claude's own honest take after using the MCP: consensus across 5 community skills is the part I can't fake]
We asked Claude, on camera, what the MCP gave it: "I couldn't have told you 'this is the field's consensus, not my opinion' - that's the part I can't fake."
🔒 Private by default
Read-only, no auth, no secrets. It never sends your code, files, or the context you pass - only a scrubbed search query + which skill matched, so the catalog learns what to add next. Set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to disable even that.
🪄 Skill autopilot
Registers the MCP globally and installs a Claude Code SessionStart hook that primes every session with skills relevant to you - so loads happen on their own.
Setup flags & packs
Packs: popular (default) · frontend · ai-agents · media · backend · devops · quality · automation.
Safe by design: ~/.claude/settings.json is merged, never clobbered; re-running de-dupes and upgrades the hook in place.
Env vars
Troubleshooting
The agent doesn't see the tools. Some clients surface MCP tools lazily - tell the agent to search its tools for "skillselion" first (e.g. ToolSearch), then call it. The setup hook automates this nudge.
load_skill returns only the SKILL.md, no bundled files. You hit GitHub's unauthenticated 60 req/hr limit - set a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN in the server's env.
"No skill on Skillselion clearly matches..." The relevance floor working as intended - nothing topical matched, so it refuses to waste your context. Try a more specific query.
Setup couldn't auto-register. Run the printed claude mcp add ... line yourself.
