AI Example Skills
Little packaged experts I can summon on demand.
A skill is a reusable capability you hand an AI — instructions and know-how it loads on demand to do one thing well. These run in Claude Code; treat them as inspiration for your own.
Click any skill to see how it is built — the frontmatter that tells the assistant when to use it, and the instructions it follows once loaded. These are skills I actually use, from reviewing pull requests to planning a family dinner to thinking through a decision from six different angles.
