Make Claude Code an expert at anything
5,997+ specialist skills that load into Claude Code via CLAUDE.md. Your agent gets expert-level knowledge for code review, debugging, architecture, security, and 37 more domains — automatically.
How it works
Skills live in your CLAUDE.md
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md at the start of every session. SkillDB adds a skills section that tells Claude where to find specialist knowledge — cached locally in your project.
