The 5 Claude Code Skills You Actually Need

Five skills worth installing and what each one is actually for: training Claude out of its mistakes, cutting its output cost, and handing it design, SEO, and video.


How to install any skill

Open Claude Code and run this command, swapping in the link for whichever skill you want:

/plugin marketplace add [GitHub username/repo name]

When in doubt, just ask Claude to install it for you. All you need to provide is the URL.

The 5 skills

1. Skill Creator 🖌️

Lets you build and improve your own Claude Code skills. If Claude keeps making the same mistake in your project, this is how you train it out of that permanently.

Install Skill Creator

2. Caveman 🪨

Cuts Claude’s output tokens by up to 75% without losing any accuracy. Claude stops being so wordy, which means faster responses and lower costs. Type /caveman to turn it on anytime.

Install Caveman

3. UX/UI Pro Max 🎨

Tell it what you’re building and it generates a complete design system for you — colours, fonts, layout patterns, and what to avoid. No design experience required.

4. Claude SEO 💻

Once your app or website is live, this runs a full SEO audit in one command. It covers everything from technical errors to AI search optimization without you needing to understand any of it.

5. Remotion 💿

Lets you build and generate videos programmatically inside your app using React. Great for auto-generated content, data visualizations, or anything that would normally need a video editor.

Still stuck?

Open Claude Code or a regular Claude chat and paste this:

“Help me install this skill: [paste any of the 5 links here]”

Claude will walk you through the rest.
