+# CLAUDE.md - Project Instructions for Claude Code
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is the **awesome-claude-skills** repository — a curated collection of practical Claude Skills for enhancing productivity across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the Claude API. It is maintained by ComposioHQ.
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+```
+awesome-claude-skills/
+├── .claude-plugin/          # Marketplace plugin metadata
+│   └── marketplace.json     # Plugin registry with all skill entries
+├── connect-apps-plugin/     # Plugin for connecting Claude to 500+ apps via Composio
+├── <skill-name>/            # Individual skill directories
+│   └── SKILL.md             # Skill definition and documentation
+├── CONTRIBUTING.md          # Contribution guidelines
+└── README.md                # Main project README with skill catalog
+```
+
+## Skill Categories
+
+- **Business & Marketing** — lead generation, competitive research, branding
+- **Communication & Writing** — content creation, meeting analysis, comms
+- **Creative & Media** — design, images, video, GIFs, themes
+- **Development** — artifacts, changelogs, MCP servers, testing
+- **Productivity & Organization** — file management, documents, invoices
+
+## Contributing a New Skill
+
+1. Create a new directory: `skill-name/` (lowercase, hyphenated)
+2. Add a `SKILL.md` file following the template in `CONTRIBUTING.md`
+3. Register the skill in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`
+4. Add the skill entry to `README.md` in the appropriate category (alphabetical order)
+5. No emojis in README entries; follow existing format exactly
+
+## Key Files to Know
+
+- `README.md` — The main catalog listing all skills with descriptions and links
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — Full guide on how to add new skills
+- `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` — Machine-readable registry of all plugins
+- `template-skill/` — Reference template for creating new skills
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Skill directories use lowercase with hyphens (e.g., `lead-research-assistant`)
+- Every skill must have a `SKILL.md` as its entry point
+- Skills should solve real problems, not hypothetical ones
+- Include practical examples and real-world use cases
+- Always attribute original sources with "Inspired by:" or "Credit:"
