FAQ

How are Claude Code Skills ranked?

We score across 6 factors: Adoption (GitHub Stars + weekly growth), Community (HN, Reddit, Twitter multi-platform signals), Quality (hands-on testing), Security (audit status + risk analysis), Credibility (official vs community), and Ecosystem (category breadth + maintenance).

What is the difference between community and official skills?

Official skills are maintained by the official team; community skills come from open-source authors and vary in quality and risk. “Official” does not automatically mean independently security-audited—use each record’s review status, evidence, and requested permissions.

How often is the ranking updated?

GitHub data (stars, forks, last push date) is updated weekly via API. Quality scores and security status are updated manually when we re-test. Skills not tested in over 45 days show a staleness warning.

How do I install Claude Code Skills?

Run the /install-skill command in your Claude Code terminal with the GitHub URL. See our complete Skills guide for detailed steps.

Rankings are generated automatically from public data, updated weekly. All third-party skills are not developed by Shareuhack. Review requested permissions before installing any skill. Rankings are for reference only — use at your own risk.
