Claude skills for marketing: a shortlist for DTC teams

Claude skills for marketing are reusable SKILL.md folders, not one official marketing pack. This shortlist starts with Marketing Skills for copy and content, Anthropic Skills for the file format, and cataloged ad libraries whose records document an MCP. Every price and access cell comes from that resource record. We did not install or run these tools.

Last checked 2026-10-27.

Quick picks

What a Claude skill is, and what it is not

On this site, a skill is a documented instruction folder. An MCP server is a documented connector. A prompt library is a set of prompts. Those are different records, and a documented connection was not run.

Anthropic Skills is the official examples repository in the catalog. Awesome Agent Skills and skills.sh are directories. Marketing Skills is a public GitHub collection whose summary says to read the current license.

A simple DTC setup

For copy, start with Marketing Skills and keep the claims your own. For paid social, use an ad record that documents an MCP, such as Foreplay, GetHookd, or TrendTrack, and read the plan limits on that record. For app screenshots and paywalls, before.click documents a skill and a public gallery. Paid tiers for before.click are not established.

Before you install, read the source, the license, and what the skill can run. Records that flag an install say to read the source first. The free Agent Swipe File skill only shortlists this directory. It does not install these tools.

FAQ

What are the best Claude skills for marketing?

This page does not rank skills. Marketing Skills is a public collection for copy and content work. Anthropic Skills is the official examples repository, and its summary says many skills are Apache 2.0 while document skills are source-available. Pair a skill with an ad record that documents an MCP, such as Foreplay.

How do I add a marketing skill to Claude Code?

This directory did not run an installer, and the records do not share one command. Anthropic Skills names Claude Code as a documented client. Read that README and the skill folder, and read the source where the record says an install needs a closer look.

What is the difference between a Claude skill and an MCP server?

A skill is instructions the agent reads. An MCP server is a connector the vendor documents. Marketing Skills documents a skill and does not document an MCP. Foreplay documents an MCP and does not document a skill.

Are there free Claude skills for marketing on GitHub?

Marketing Skills publishes instructions in a public GitHub repository, and the summary says to read the current license. Awesome Agent Skills is a public MIT list. Free to read is not a license for every tool a list links to.

Can Claude skills help with Meta ads or ad creative?

No record in this shortlist is only a Meta ads skill. GetHookd documents ad references, and its pricing display says API and MCP depend on tier and billing cycle. Meta Ad Library is the official library. An active ad is not proof that it performed.

Do Claude skills work in Codex, Cursor, or other agents?

Anthropic Skills names Claude Code and Claude. skills.sh names Claude, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and Cline. A client list is what the record documents. This directory did not test those hosts.

Is it safe to install a Claude skill from GitHub?

Read the files and the license first. Anthropic Skills and Awesome Agent Skills say to read the files before an install. This directory did not install them. Keep your own product claims and brand assets.
