anthropics/claude-plugins-official

This skill should be used when the user wants to build an "MCP app", add "interactive UI" or "widgets" to an MCP server, "render components in chat", build "MCP UI resources", make a tool that shows a "form", "picker", "dashboard" or "confirmation dialog" inline in the conversation, or mentions "apps SDK" in the context of MCP. Use AFTER the build-mcp-server skill has settled the deployment model, or when the user already knows they want UI widgets.

build-mcp-server
anthropics/claude-plugins-official

This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.

siege
anthropics/claude-plugins-official

Work on one hard mathematics problem in rounds: each round a judge writes a few self-contained questions, independent workers answer them, and the judge keeps a ledger of what is proved, refuted and open, until the judge concludes or the rounds run out, and then a proof.md says plainly what is and is not proved. A run takes hours and dozens of worker runs. Usage: /math-proof:siege [NAME=value settings] <the problem, stated in full, or the path of a file holding it>.

math-olympiad
anthropics/claude-plugins-official

Solve competition math problems (IMO, Putnam, USAMO, AIME) with adversarial verification that catches the errors self-verification misses. Activates when asked to 'solve this IMO problem', 'prove this olympiad inequality', 'verify this competition proof', 'find a counterexample', 'is this proof correct', or for any problem with 'IMO', 'Putnam', 'USAMO', 'olympiad', or 'competition math' in it. Uses pure reasoning (no tools) — then a fresh-context adversarial verifier attacks the proof using specific failure patterns, not generic 'check logic'. Outputs calibrated confidence — will say 'no confident solution' rather than bluff. If LaTeX is available, produces a clean PDF after verification passes.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.

Generate AI music on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI — a smart router across the music-model catalog. Routes to ElevenLabs AI Music Generation (premium 44.1 kHz stereo vocal tracks, 5 s–5 min, $0.0083/s) and ACE Step / ACE Step 1.5 (StepFun-AI open-weights, tag-driven composition, multilingual lyrics, $0.0002–0.0003/s, ~27× cheaper), plus ACE Step audio-inpaint (regenerate a time range inside an existing track) and ACE Step audio-outpaint (extend a track before or after).
