Business & C-Level Skills: 362 Claude Code skills for finance, compliance, and executive work
Most agent-skill packs are engineering-first with a marketing skill or two bolted on. alirezarezvani/claude-skills inverts that ratio — alongside a real engineering catalog, it ships 68 C-suite advisory skills, dedicated compliance and finance packs, and enterprise research operations, for the founder or small team that doesn't have a CFO or compliance officer on staff yet.

What it is
claude-skills by alirezarezvani is a library of 362 production-ready skills and agent plugins spanning 18 domains — from engineering and product, through C-level advisory, compliance, research, and business operations, down to commercial and finance. It sits at over 23,000 GitHub stars, with commits landing within the last two weeks, and targets 13 different AI coding platforms rather than Claude Code alone.
The part worth calling out specifically: 68 C-level advisory skills built around founder-mode personas. Where most business-skill packs stop at "write a business plan," this repo has a distinct skill for a CFO-style cash-runway review, a distinct one for a CMO-style channel-mix argument, and so on — structured executive reasoning per role rather than one generic "act as a business consultant" prompt.
Scale across 18 domains
Engineering
52 core skills + 84 "POWERFUL tier" advanced skills — architecture, testing, DevOps, security, AI/ML
Product & Marketing
17 product skills + 48 marketing skills, including SEO/AEO optimization
C-Level Advisory
68 skills covering full C-suite roles with founder-mode reasoning personas
Compliance & Operations
19 regulatory/QM skills, 9 compliance-OS skills, 7 business-operations skills
Finance & Commercial
4 finance skills, 8 commercial skills
Research & Productivity
9 academic research specialists, 5 enterprise research-ops skills, 11 productivity/workflow skills
Every one of the 644 bundled Python CLI tools runs on the standard library only — "zero pip installs required" — so a skill's deterministic script executes on a fresh machine without a dependency step that could fail mid-task or need network access it doesn't have.
Installation
Claude Code plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
For Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, and other non-Claude platforms, the repo ships conversion scripts that translate the same skill source into each tool's native format — you don't maintain a second copy by hand.
Using it day to day
Given the size of the catalog, install by domain rather than in full — pull in compliance and finance for a startup preparing due diligence, or just c-level-advisory if you want a second opinion on a specific decision without touching the engineering skills at all.
Treat the C-level advisory output the way you'd treat a smart, well-read advisor with no liability and no access to information you didn't give it — useful for stress-testing a decision or surfacing a framework you hadn't considered, not a substitute for an actual CFO, lawyer, or accountant on anything with real financial or legal exposure.
My take
This is the pick for the "business" half of "marketing and business" specifically — solo founders and small teams who need a compliance checklist reviewed or a pricing decision stress-tested and don't have anyone in-house to ask. The zero-pip-install design is a genuinely good engineering choice for anything meant to run reliably inside an agent's sandboxed execution.
Where it won't help: 362 skills across 18 domains is a lot of surface area to have installed at once, and the marketing subset here is broad rather than deep — pair it with Marketing Skills or Claude SEO if marketing execution, not business strategy, is the actual bottleneck.
Frequently asked questions
What does a "C-level advisory" skill actually produce?
Structured founder-mode reasoning for a specific executive lens — a CFO-style cash-runway review, a CMO-style channel-mix argument, a board-update draft — rather than generic business advice. There are 68 of these across the C-suite roles.
Do I have to install all 362 skills?
No — they are organized into 18 domains (engineering, marketing, product, compliance, research, finance, and more), and the marketplace lets you install a domain's bundle or an individual skill rather than the entire catalog.
Why "zero pip installs"?
The 644 bundled Python CLI tools use only the standard library, so a skill's deterministic scripts run on a fresh machine without a dependency-install step that could fail or need network access mid-task.
Does it work outside Claude Code?
Yes — it explicitly targets 13 AI coding platforms, with native marketplace install for Claude Code and conversion scripts for Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, and others.
