Anthropic's reference bundle: skill-creator, mcp-builder, webapp-testing, frontend-design, canvas-design, theme-factory, and more — twelve skills installed together as one plugin.
What it actually does
- One plugin bundling twelve Anthropic reference skills at once, including
skill-creator,mcp-builder,webapp-testing,frontend-design,canvas-design,theme-factory, andbrand-guidelines. skill-creatorspecifically runs Anthropic's eval workflow — a with-skill-vs-without-skill benchmark across isolated subagent runs, plus a blind A/B between two versions of a skill.
When to use it — and when not to
Use it when
- You want Anthropic's own reference implementations for building, testing, or evaluating skills, or for frontend/design/MCP work.
- You specifically want
skill-creator's eval workflow to check whether a skill you wrote actually helps.
Not for
- You only want one of the twelve — the plugin route installs all twelve together (though nothing stops copying a single skill's folder into
~/.claude/skills/by hand).
The caveat that matters
It's a twelve-skill grab-bag, not twelve independent listings — evaluate it as one bundle, not by any single sub-skill's name.
Agent compatibility
- Claude Code
Confirmed means the skill’s own source or vendor states it works with that agent. Portable means it only reaches that agent through the shared SKILL.md format and a directory convention — real, but a weaker claim. An agent with no entry here isn’t known to be unsupported; it simply isn’t documented either way, so nothing is claimed. Full model on Agent Skills Compatibility.
