Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler
browse_by_category	category name	Exploring what's available in a domain
compare_skills	2-3 skill names	Choosing between similar skills
skill_template	your workflow intent	Starting your own skill

Coût et limites

Monétaire: Free — skills are local files
Astuce: Clone once; the catalog updates are trivial to pull.

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Stockage des identifiants : No credentials — pure prompts

Sortie de données : None

Read each linked skill's own safety section before installing — quality varies across listed entries.

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

Skill not invoked — Claude answers without consulting the catalog

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

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

SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

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

Vérifier : 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'.

Alternatives

awesome-claude-skills vs autres

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
anthropics/skills	You only want first-party Anthropic-authored skills	Smaller surface, higher baseline quality
