A curated list of Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot skills and plugins built for students: IB, IGCSE, college-bound, and anyone studying with an AI coding agent at their side.
Skills and plugins that run inside your AI coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Gemini CLI — to help with IB/IGCSE coursework, exam prep, academic writing, STEM problems, CS projects, and college applications. Every entry links out to its own repo; nothing is hosted here.

🛡️ Security Notice
[!WARNING]
This list curates links — it does not vet or host the code behind them. Before installing any skill or plugin:
- Read the source. A skill or plugin runs with the same permissions as your coding agent.
- Check the author and repo activity. Prefer maintained repos with real usage over brand-new, unreviewed ones.
- Never paste credentials, exam content, or personal data into a skill you have not read.
Found a listed entry that looks unsafe or abandoned? Open an issue or PR removing it.
✅ Quality Standards
Every entry in this list meets all of the following:
- Public repo — cloneable without requesting access.
- Documented — has a README or SKILL.md explaining what it does and how to install it.
- Works — built for at least one of the tools in the compatibility table above.
- Real, not a stub — actual working skill, not a placeholder created to pad this list.
- Short description — one line, plain language, no marketing copy.
Contributing
PRs adding a skill or plugin are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the entry format and PR checklist.
License
Released under the MIT License. The license covers this list itself (README, CONTRIBUTING.md, curation structure) — not the skills and plugins linked from it. Each of those is owned and licensed by its author in its own repo.
