I Tried 28 Claude Code Skills. Here Are the 5 I Kept

Описание и применение

Автор протестировал 28 навыков Claude Code и оставил пять, которые добавляют уникальную ценность, уменьшая потребление контекста.

Задача

Choosing which Claude Code skills to keep when many add similar functionality and consume context tokens.

Результат

Retaining five focused skills reduced context consumption while preserving distinct benefits such as minimal code output, terse communication, codebase graphing, plan refinement, and UI design support.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install each skill via the appropriate command (e.g., /plugin marketplace add …).
• 2. Test the skill’s effect on code generation, output terseness, knowledge graph creation, plan refinement, or UI design.
• 3. Measure impact on code length, token usage, runtime speed, or design output.
• 4. Compare results to baseline without the skill.
• 5. Keep the skill if it provides measurable benefit and does not add unnecessary context.
• 6. Remove the skill if it duplicates model behavior or adds significant context.
• 7. Repeat for all 28 skills.

Each one does a narrow job the model does not already do well.

The two biggest names I removed were Superpowers and Get Shit Done, now continued as GSD Core.

A lot of what these frameworks did is now built in.
