Tons of Skills
September 10, 2026 · View on GitHub
A model-agnostic agent-skills platform. The canonical layer is harness-free by construction; Claude Code is currently the verified-native harness. Other harnesses remain engineering candidates until their native-path integration is verified; source research alone is never presented as public support.
Version semantics: the release badge is this marketplace's display version. npm packages, including the
ccpiCLI and publishable plugins, retain their own package versions; they are intentionally not expected to equal the display version. The version-surface checker governs the display surfaces without rewriting package semver.
Install
Inside Claude Code, one command installs the whole marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins
Or use the CLI:
pnpm add -g @intentsolutionsio/ccpi
ccpi install devops-automation-pack

Scale, labeled
Every number below names the cohort it counts and the command that reproduces it — an unlabeled count is how a corpus ends up with five contradictory answers to "how many skills."
| Count | Cohort | Reproduce with |
|---|---|---|
| 434 | catalog plugins (catalog-entry cohort) | node scripts/generate-readme-toc.mjs over marketplace.extended.json |
| 2,900 | marketplace-visible skills (distinct) | node -e "import('./scripts/corpus-resolver.mjs').then(m=>console.log(m.resolveCorpus('marketplace-visible').length))" |
| 352 | agent definitions in plugins | git ls-files 'plugins/**' | grep '/agents/.*\.md' |
| 19 | plugin categories | ls -d plugins/*/ |
📦 Live npm Downloads
Across 393 published packages in the claude-code-plugins namespace. Updated daily by GitHub Actions.
| Window | All packages | Established (>30d) |
|---|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | 600 | 600 |
| Last 7 days | 2,550 | 2,550 |
| Last 30 days | 13,041 | 13,041 |
"Established" excludes packages first published within the last 30 days, so a bulk-publish event doesn't dominate the headline.

Ways in
Five real questions, five doors — each resolves to a live, generated surface, never a hand-maintained list:
- By category — the table below, regenerated from the catalog on every sync.
- By plugin — tonsofskills.com/explore, the full browsable catalog.
- By skill — tonsofskills.com/skills, searchable across the whole corpus.
- By job to be done — tonsofskills.com/cowork, curated bundles as one-click downloads.
- By certification tier — the Certification section below, rendered from the live report.

What the classes mean
Four artifact classes live in this repository, distinguished on sight and never blurred — provenance is a truth requirement here, not a UX nicety:
| Class | What it is | How the reader can tell |
|---|---|---|
| Canonical skill | First-party, harness-free, the source of truth | No .source.json in its plugin directory |
| Generated adapter | A thin, machine-produced harness projection | Lives under a generated path with a "generated — do not edit" header |
| First-party package | An Intent Solutions distribution (npm, cowork zip) | @intentsolutionsio scope, IS-authored license |
| Upstream mirror | Somebody else's work, hosted mirror-by-default | .source.json present — upstream author, license, and pinned commit recorded |
Certification
Not yet certified. The certification program (tiers T0–T4 with retained, hash-matched evidence) is a later epic of the platform blueprint; until its report exists, no artifact on this surface claims a tier. This line is rendered from the absence of certification-report.json — honestly, not cosmetically.
Contribute
Start with the contribution guide, then the intake and review standards every submission passes through:
- Contribution requirements — including the AI-assistance disclosure expectation.
- Skill submission intake standard — the tiered document matrix new plugins ship with.
- External-PR review standard — how maintainers triage and what gets a submission merged.
Governance
- STANDARDS.md — the public spec posture and the canonical-documents index (one owner per fact class).
- The platform master blueprint — CI gates, release, docs governance, and this README's own landing contract.
- GOVERNANCE.md · SECURITY.md · LICENSE
Provenance
External plugins are hosted mirror-by-default: the contributor's repository stays the source of truth, every mirrored source is pinned in a content lockfile, and upstream credit — author, license, resolved commit — is recorded in the mirror itself. Improvements flow by upstreaming to the author's repository, never by silently editing the mirror. The full decision record is the external-sync model.
License
MIT for the repository scaffolding and first-party tooling; each plugin carries its own license in its manifest, and mirrored plugins keep their upstream license verbatim.
