Claude skills for writing: before you install one

Which Claude skill should I use for writing?

There are 2,131 of them, spread over 650 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: markdown mermaid writing (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, ★ 55k), scientific writing (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, ★ 55k) and ai blog intro writer (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, ★ 49k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.

How do I install a Claude skill for writing?

For writing, take the markdown-mermaid-writing folder from K-Dense-AI/scientific-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.

What should I check before installing a writing skill?

A writing skill is instructions Claude follows, and it can bundle scripts Claude runs, so read SKILL.md and every script first: for markdown mermaid writing, that is everything in the markdown-mermaid-writing 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 writing skills maintained?

1,416 of the 2,131 writing skills sit in repositories that changed in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026.

Is there an official Anthropic skill for writing?

Yes: doc coauthoring comes from Anthropic's own skills repository. The other 2,130 are community-made.

Can I use these writing skills at work?

Of the 50 writing skills listed here, 42 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and 3, such as content research writer and email sequence writer, state no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse them. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
