A curated list of practical Claude Skills for enhancing productivity across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the Claude API.
+---
+
+## Quickstart: Connect Claude to 500+ Apps
+
+The **connect-apps** plugin lets Claude perform real actions - send emails, create issues, post to Slack. It handles auth and connects to 500+ apps using Composio under the hood.
+
+### 1. Install the Plugin
+
+```bash
+claude --plugin-dir ./connect-apps-plugin
+```
+
+### 2. Run Setup
+
+```
+/connect-apps:setup
+```
+
+Paste your API key when asked. (Get a free key at [platform.composio.dev](https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills))
+
+### 3. Restart & Try It
+
+```bash
+exit
+claude
+```
> **Want skills that do more than generate text?** Claude can send emails, create issues, post to Slack, and take actions across 1000+ apps. [See how →](./connect/)
+If you receive the email, Claude is now connected to 500+ apps.
+
+**[See all supported apps →](./connect-apps/)**

+# Connect Apps Plugin
+
+Let Claude perform real actions in 500+ apps. Handles auth and connections using Composio under the hood.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+claude --plugin-dir ./connect-apps-plugin
+```
+
+Then run the setup:
+```
+/connect-apps:setup
+```
+
+## What You Get
+
+Once installed, Claude can:
+- **Send emails** via Gmail, Outlook
+- **Create issues** on GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear
+- **Post messages** to Slack, Discord, Teams
+- **Update docs** in Notion, Google Docs
+- **Manage data** in Sheets, Airtable, databases
+- **And 500+ more actions**
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Get a free API key from [platform.composio.dev](https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills)
+2. Run `/connect-apps:setup` and paste your key
+3. Restart Claude Code
+4. First time using an app, you'll authorize via OAuth
+5. That's it - Claude can now take real actions
+
+## Try It
+
+After setup, ask Claude:
+```
+Send me a test email at myemail@example.com
+```

+---
+
+# Connect Apps Setup
+
+Set up the connect-apps plugin so Claude can take real actions in external apps (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, etc). Uses Composio for auth and app connections.
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Ask for API Key
+
+Ask the user for their Composio API key. If they don't have one, tell them to get a free key at: https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills
+
+Just ask for the key directly. Don't ask if they have one first.
+
+### Step 2: Validate & Get MCP URL
+
+Run this command (replace API_KEY_HERE with the actual key):
+
+```bash
+/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11 -c "
+from composio import Composio
+composio = Composio(api_key='API_KEY_HERE')
+session = composio.create(user_id='claude_user')
+print(session.mcp.url)
+"
+```
+
+If it fails with import error, first run: `pip3 install composio`
+
+### Step 3: Write Config
+
+Write directly to `~/.mcp.json` with this exact format:
+
+```json
+{
+ "connect-apps": {
+ "type": "http",
+ "url": "THE_MCP_URL_FROM_STEP_2",
+ "headers": {
+ "x-api-key": "THE_API_KEY"
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If ~/.mcp.json already exists with other servers, merge the "connect-apps" key into the existing JSON.
+
+### Step 4: Confirm
+
+Tell the user:
+```
+Setup complete!
+
+To activate: exit and run `claude` again
+
+Then try: "Send me a test email at your@email.com"
+```
+
+## Important
+
+- Do NOT try to edit settings.local.json - MCP servers go in ~/.mcp.json
+- Do NOT search for config locations - just write to ~/.mcp.json
+- Do NOT ask multiple questions - just ask for the API key once
+- Be fast - this should take under 30 seconds

+---
+
+# Connect Apps
+
+Connect Claude to 1000+ apps. Actually send emails, create issues, post messages - not just generate text about it.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Step 1: Install the Plugin
+
+```
+/plugin install composio-toolrouter
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Setup
+
+```
+/composio-toolrouter:setup
+```
+
+This will:
+- Ask for your free API key (get one at [platform.composio.dev](https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills))
+- Configure Claude's connection to 1000+ apps
+- Take about 60 seconds
+
+### Step 3: Try It!
+
+After setup, restart Claude Code and try:
+
+```
+Send me a test email at YOUR_EMAIL@example.com
+```
+
+If it works, you're connected!
+
+## What You Can Do
+
+| Ask Claude to... | What happens |
+|------------------|--------------|
+| "Send email to sarah@acme.com about the launch" | Actually sends the email |
+| "Create GitHub issue: fix login bug" | Creates the issue |
+| "Post to Slack #general: deploy complete" | Posts the message |
+| "Add meeting notes to Notion" | Adds to Notion |
+
+## Supported Apps
+
+**Email:** Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid
+**Chat:** Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram
+**Dev:** GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear
+**Docs:** Notion, Google Docs, Confluence
+**Data:** Sheets, Airtable, PostgreSQL
+**And 1000+ more...**
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. You ask Claude to do something
+2. Composio Tool Router finds the right tool
+3. First time? You'll authorize via OAuth (one-time)
+4. Action executes and returns result
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Plugin not found"** → Make sure you ran `/plugin install composio-toolrouter`
+- **"Need to authorize"** → Click the OAuth link Claude provides, then say "done"
+- **Action failed** → Check you have permissions in the target app
