Resolución de problemas

Errores comunes y soluciones

Skill not invoked — Claude answers without consulting the catalog

Reference it explicitly: 'Use awesome-claude-skills to find...'.

Verificar: ls ~/.claude/skills/awesome-claude-skills/SKILL.md

SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

The catalog repo is large — ensure the clone completed fully.

Verificar: head ~/.claude/skills/awesome-claude-skills/SKILL.md

Wrong trigger keywords — Claude invents a skill instead of listing real ones

Say 'list real skills from the awesome-claude-skills catalog', not 'find me a skill that does X'.

anthropics/skills	You only want first-party Anthropic-authored skills	Smaller surface, higher baseline quality
