What does the anth-hello-world skill do?

Create a minimal working Anthropic Claude Messages API example. Use when starting a new Claude integration, testing your setup, or learning basic Messages API patterns for text, vision, and streaming. Trigger with phrases like "anthropic hello world", "claude api example", "anthropic quick start", "simple claude code", "first messages api call". '

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill anth-hello-world --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
