How to use this

You do not need to be a developer to use most of these. A repo is just a folder of files someone made public. For anything tagged as a skill or a plugin, the install is usually one line pasted into Claude Code.

Start with the Anthropic section. Then pick the one category that matches the job you are actually trying to do. Ignore the rest until you need it.

Third-party repos here clear 10,000 stars, so you are not installing someone's weekend experiment. Anthropic's own and mine are listed regardless of count.

BONUS SKILL — Exposure Audit

charlie947/exposure-audit · A Claude skill that audits your own setup and tells you which API keys you have left lying around in files you forgot about.

It is a skill, not a plugin. It installs to ~/.claude/skills and will never appear in installed_plugins.json, so do not list it alongside plugins.

⚠ Install command not yet confirmed from the repo README — fill it in before this goes out to anyone.
