Support the Open Source Projects We Depend On
Claude Scientific Skills is built on the shoulders of giants. The 139 skills in this repository leverage dozens of incredible open source projects created and maintained by dedicated developers and research communities around the world.
If you find value in these skills, please consider supporting the underlying open source projects that make them possible.
How to Support Open Source
- Star repositories on GitHub - It's free and helps projects gain visibility
- Sponsor maintainers directly through GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, or project-specific donation pages
- Contribute code, documentation, or bug reports
- Cite projects in your publications
- Share projects with colleagues
