Before you use it. A club note is a reading order, not a product. Follow the license and the caution on each tool it links to.
Original AgentSkillClub write-up, released CC0-1.0. It is not an upstream project. Every tool it names is a separate open-source item in this catalog and keeps its own license.
When this is the job
The output is a PDF, a Word document, a deck, or a spreadsheet. Anthropic publishes these four as Apache-2.0 skills in anthropics/skills, and this site mirrors each SKILL.md plus that directory's LICENSE.txt.
Before you run one
The skill text calls scripts that are not in the mirror. Open the source folder and read those scripts. A skill that fills a PDF or builds a workbook is still code.

Theme factory and canvas design sit next to this set when the file also has to look like a designed artifact. They are separate skills.
