Thariq Shihipar, an engineer on Anthropic’s Claude Code team, summed up what the team learned from using hundreds of active Skills internally, sorting them into nine categories: library and API references, product validation, data acquisition and analysis, business process automation, code scaffolding, code quality and review, CI/CD and deployment, operations runbooks, and infrastructure operations.
Why it matters: Anthropic’s internal classification system for hundreds of Skills, along with its writing tips, can be adapted to help teams design their own Skills.
