Flowy vs Cross AI Tools
The biggest Claude Code index, or the hand-picked one where skills fire themselves. Here is who each is for.
The short answer
Cross AI Tools is the largest Claude Code directory (21,600+ skills, 300k visitors a month), ranked by popularity and paid for by ads. Flowy is small and hand-picked, and its Auto-invoked listings make the right skill fire as you prompt instead of sitting dormant. Pick Cross AI Tools for breadth, Flowy for a bundle that gets used.

Where Cross AI Tools wins
Scale, traffic, freshness, and breadth. It covers skills, MCP servers, and marketplaces, updates daily, and has mature category pages. If you want to browse the whole field ranked by what is popular, it is the default, and it is honest about being ad-supported.
Where Flowy is different
Flowy does not try to be a bigger index. A skill with a million installs still sits dead in your session until something invokes it. Flowy hand-picks skills into a Flow and ships a FLOW.md router plus a hook, so the right one fires at the right moment. The sharp part: the directories index the raw skills that live inside our Flows. They sell the loose parts. We sell them hand-picked, bundled, routed, and firing.
