Claude skills for documentation: before you install one
Is there a Claude skill for documentation?
There are 1,345 of them, spread over 504 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: documentation and adrs (addyosmani/agent-skills, ★ 112k), docs page (nexu-io/open-design, ★ 105k) and docs governance (CherryHQ/cherry-studio, ★ 53k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.
How do I install a Claude skill for documentation?
For documentation, take the documentation-and-adrs folder from addyosmani/agent-skills (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. In the Claude apps, zip that folder and upload it as a custom skill in settings.
Is there an official Anthropic skill for documentation?
Yes: doc coauthoring and theme factory come from Anthropic's own skills repository. The other 1,343 are community-made.
Can I use these documentation skills at work?
Of the 50 documentation skills listed here, 42 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and notion research documentation states no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse it. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
What should I check before installing a documentation skill?
A documentation skill is instructions Claude follows, and it can bundle scripts Claude runs, so read SKILL.md and every script first: for documentation and adrs, that is everything in the documentation-and-adrs folder. Red flags: piping a download into a shell, sending files to a URL, and instructions to hide what it does from you.
Are these documentation skills maintained?
874 of the 1,345 documentation skills sit in repositories that changed in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026.
