What does the curl-http skill do?
API testing with curl and httpie for HTTP requests. Use when user asks to "test API", "make HTTP request", "curl POST", "send request", "test endpoint", "debug API", or make any HTTP calls from command line.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill curl-http --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
