What is Claude Power Pack?
Claude Power Pack is a free, open-source bundle that turns a fresh Claude Code install into a fully equipped setup. It installs 94 agent skills, 9 plugins, a set of working rules for CLAUDE.md, recommended settings and two browser MCP servers, then tells you exactly which claude.ai connectors are worth switching on.
It comes from a real setup tuned over months of daily use, with everything personal taken out. Finding good skills one by one takes weeks. This gives you a tested set in about ten minutes, and Claude does the installing.
Made for: new Claude Max and Pro subscribers, developers, designers, marketers, founders and video editors who want Claude Code at full strength from day one.
Quick start
Option 1: let Claude install it (easiest)
- Get the folder:
git clone https://github.com/mppyxx/claude-power-pack ~/claude-power-pack
No git? Download the latest release and unzip it into your home folder.
- Open the folder in Claude Code, or in the Code tab of the Claude desktop app.
- Type install this.
Claude reads the pack's CLAUDE.md, backs up your current setup, runs the installer, fixes any warnings, checks the result, and then walks you through the few logins only you can do.
Option 2: one command
cd ~/claude-power-pack && bash install.sh --tools
--tools also installs the command-line tools some skills use (ffmpeg, yt-dlp, Whisper, auto-editor, Playwright CLI, Firecrawl CLI, graphify). Run bash install.sh --dry-run first if you want to see every change before anything happens.

How it works
Before and after
| Fresh Claude Code | With Claude Power Pack |
|---|
| Stops to ask before most steps | Picks the best option and builds it. Only stops for money, passwords and messages to people |
| Says "done" once the code is written | Runs it, clicks through the screens, shows you proof |
| UI that looks like every other AI site | 23 design skills, checked in a real browser at desktop and mobile size |
| Limited to the files on your machine | Web research, scraping, browser control, and a guide to 14 app connectors |
| You hunt for skills one at a time | 94 skills that work together, sorted by job |
| Default model and effort | Opus at high effort, with multi-agent workflows on |
Is it safe?
- You can read every line first.
install.sh is a plain bash script. --dry-run shows each change without making it.
- It backs up before touching anything, to
~/.claude-power-pack-backup/<date-time>/.
- It never overwrites your stuff. Skills you already have, settings you already set, and your own edits to the rules are kept unless you pass
--force.
- No passwords or API keys. The installer never asks for one, and the rules tell Claude never to ask for one in chat. Logins happen in your own browser or terminal.
- No
sudo. Nothing outside your user account is changed.
- Updates never overwrite your edits. The pack fingerprints every skill and the rules it installs. An update only replaces copies that still match, pulls only from this repo, and never installs software.
- Tested on every change. GitHub Actions runs a full install on macOS and Linux, plus a re-run, a merge test against an existing setup, and an update test that edits a skill and checks the update leaves it alone.
- Every author credited. Third-party skills keep their own licences (THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md). Two skills without an open licence aren't copied here; the installer fetches them from their authors.
Skills run with the same permissions as Claude, so the security policy explains what to check and how to report a problem.
FAQ
What is a Claude Code skill?
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: instructions, and sometimes scripts, that teach Claude how to do one kind of task well. Claude Code only reads each skill's short description at the start of a session and loads the full instructions when your request matches. So 94 skills cost only their short descriptions until one is actually used.
Do I need Claude Max?
No, Claude Pro works too. The pack sets Claude Code to Opus at high effort, which uses your limits faster, so Max is the comfortable fit. You can switch models any time with /model.
Will it overwrite my current Claude setup?
No. It backs everything up first, adds only what's missing, and keeps your own skills, settings and rules. Running it again is safe and changes nothing you've edited.
Does it work on Windows?
The installer is a bash script, tested on macOS and Linux. On Windows, WSL may work, but it isn't tested yet. The desktop extensions in the connector guide are Mac apps.
Does it cost anything?
The pack is free and MIT licensed, and most tools it uses have free tiers. A few need paid accounts: Higgsfield credits for AI image and video, an Ahrefs plan for SEO data, and DaVinci Resolve Studio for the two Resolve skills.
Can Claude install it for me?
Yes, that's the easiest way. Open the folder in Claude Code and say "install this". The pack's CLAUDE.md tells Claude every step, including what to hand back to you.
How do I update it?
You don't have to. Once a day, in the background, it checks this GitHub repo for a new version. It then updates only the pack's own skills and rules that you haven't changed, adds new skills, and tells you what changed at the start of your next session. Anything you edited stays exactly as you left it, and it never installs software on its own.
bash ~/.claude/power-pack/auto-update.sh status # version, on or off, last check
bash ~/.claude/power-pack/auto-update.sh now # update right now
bash ~/.claude/power-pack/auto-update.sh off # stop automatic updates
Prefer to stay pinned to one version? Install with bash install.sh --no-auto-update, or turn it off later.
How do I uninstall it?
Your previous setup is in ~/.claude-power-pack-backup/. Remove the skills you don't want from ~/.claude/skills, delete the section between the claude-power-pack markers in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and use claude plugin uninstall <name> and claude mcp remove <name>. docs/SETUP-CHECKLIST.md has the details.
How is this different from an awesome list?
An awesome list gives you hundreds of links to evaluate. This is a smaller set that has been used together daily, installed in one step, with working rules that change how Claude behaves and an installer that Claude itself can run.
Is this made by Anthropic?
No. It's an independent community project. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic.
