Hott
Domain knowledge for dependent type theory, homotopy type theory (HoTT), and univalent foundations: a reasoning toolkit plus topic-indexed digests of Egbert Rijke's Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory, covering identity types, path induction, transport and paths-over, the fundamental theorem of identity types, equivalences, contractibility and fibers, truncation levels (propositions, sets, k-types), function extensionality, univalence, propositional truncation and the logic of mere existence, higher inductive types, the circle and loop spaces, W-types, set quotients, universes, finite types, and groups. This skill should be loaded whenever the work turns on these concepts and the exact statement or the correct technique matters, and not only when the user asks about them: before characterizing an identity type, choosing an induction principle, claiming a type is a proposition or a set, asserting what is or is not provable (UIP, axiom K), invoking function extensionality or univalence, distinguishing judgmental from propositional equality, or reasoning about a higher inductive type. It applies to informal prose mathematics and to the univalent-foundations content behind a proof-assistant development alike, since the concepts are the same either way. It should also be used when the user asks directly about any of these topics, including conceptual and comparative questions about foundations.

From the source SKILL.md
This file states the discipline of homotopy type theory (HoTT) in the style of Egbert Rijke's Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory (arXiv:2212.11082), rigorous univalent mathematics written with precise types. The material applies to informal prose mathematics and to proof-assistant developments alike. The reasoning toolkit below names the moves and says when to reach for each. The digested chapter notes in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/ carry the detail. Read them selectively, per the topic map.
What this skill does
Hott is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hott/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Hott Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Hott skill?
Use Hott when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the general misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Hott" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Hott skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Hott is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
