The data-backed ranking of the 10 most starred + most installed Claude Skills as of May 2026 — ranked by GitHub stars, plugin install counts, and viral signal (X, Reddit r/ClaudeAI, Hacker News). Inside the 13-page guide: #1 Karpathy CLAUDE.md (220K combined stars, 4 rules that stop Claude breaking your code), #2 Anthropic Official Skills (142K stars, 17 tools for docs/slides/design), #3 Superpowers by obra (41K stars, autonomous 2hr+ coding sessions), #4 find-skills by Vercel Labs (418K installs, the meta-skill that installs every other skill), #5 Frontend Design by Anthropic (124K weekly installs, 50 visual styles that kill AI slop), #6 Vercel React Best Practices (176K installs, 57 perf rules), #7 Web Design Guidelines by Vercel (137K installs, audits UI against 100+ rules), #8 Remotion (126K installs, programmatic React video — this Short was built with it), #9 Skill Creator by Anthropic (the seed skill for building your own), #10 Firecrawl (80%+ web-scrape recall benchmark). Each page has: what it does, why it ranks, the exact install command, when to use it, and the source link.
