Skill
A skill is a folder of instructions, scripts and resources that Claude loads only when a task calls for it, adding know-how rather than new tools. Claude's directory doesn't list skills on their own; they arrive inside its 3,252 plugins (October 13, 2026).

OpenApps doesn't record which skills each plugin carries, so we don't count skills yet. A skill gives Claude instructions. An MCP tool gives it an action it can call. A plugin can carry both.
