Claude skills for Linux: what people ask

What's the best Claude skill for Linux?

There are 97 of them, spread over 69 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: arch linux triage (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k), centos linux triage (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k) and debian linux triage (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.

How do I install a Claude skill for Linux?

For Linux, take the arch-linux-triage folder from github/awesome-copilot (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.

Are all these Linux skills in English?

No: 4 of those listed, such as linuxdo and web to app, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the Linux task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.

Should I use a skill or an MCP server for Linux?

A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to Linux itself. We list 46 MCP servers for Linux if you need the connection.

Are these Linux skills official?

No. None of the 97 Linux skills comes from Anthropic's own skills repository, so all of them are community-made across 69 repositories.

Can I use these Linux skills at work?

Of the 50 Linux skills listed here, 45 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and 3, such as linuxdo and web to app, state no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse them. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
