Everyone, there are so many Skills that you might be wondering which ones to add, right? 😱
Don't worry. This article will solve everything! I promise that by the end, your Claude will become 10 times smarter! 🔥
By the way, do you have these problems when using Claude or Claude Code?
・Using Claude Code but repeating the same explanations every time
・Knowing the "Skills" feature exists but not knowing what to add
・Wanting to automate the flow from design → development → testing → documentation
・Wanting to use Claude Code as more than just "simple code completion"
Right now, the "67 Claude Skills" post by Mr. Buzzoni (@polydao), an influential figure in the overseas AI and crypto space, is going viral with 1.24 million views 😳
This time, I will break down and explain that content in an easy-to-understand way 👇

■ What are 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 in the first place?
Most people use Claude Code by "just giving normal instructions." You ask a question, get an answer, and that's it.
But Claude Code has a mechanism called "Skills," and by using this, Claude Code functions as a development team that combines the roles of designer, reviewer, debugger, and document writer.
A Skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. This file contains step-by-step instructions on "how to perform a specific task." It can also include constraints, examples, helper scripts, and templates.
In other words, you no longer need to explain "do this, then do that" every session. Once installed as a Skill, it can be reused forever.
Installation is basically this command:
npx skills@latest add [repository/path]
Major sources for Skills:
・Anthropic Official: github.com/anthropics/skills
・Matt Pocock (over 15,000 stars): github.com/mattpocock/skills
・Community Marketplace (over 66,000 Skills): skillsmp.com
■ 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 ── The "skills to make skills" you should add first
Meta Skills are the foundation for all other Skills.
𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 (Extremely useful)
Benchmarks Claude on your tasks and helps create and improve new Skills based on actual execution results.
How to use: Explain the workflow in bullet points → Have it propose a SKILL.md draft → Test 3-5 times and analyze failures → Let it improve.

■ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 ── Skills to prevent "building the wrong thing"
This might be the most important part. Skills in the design phase prevent 80% of rework after development.
Here are the skills to prevent "building the wrong thing" 👇
𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗲

■ Recommended Installation Order
The installation order proposed in the original article is quite practical, so I'll introduce it as is:
- Start with Meta Skills ── Install Write a Skill and Skill Creator to be able to create and modify Skills.
- Add Planning systems ── Grill Me, Write a PRD, PRD to Plan, PRD to Issues, Design an Interface. This prevents 80% of rework.
- Code safety devices ── Git Guardrails, Setup Pre-Commit, TDD, Systematic Debugging, Triage Issue. Add to all repositories.
- Add Superpowers as a base layer ── github.com/obra/superpowers
- Layer Business skills on top ── Marketing Skills, Claude SEO, Lead Research, Content Researcher.
- Fill gaps with SkillsMP ── Search skillsmp.com first when you hit a new challenge before making one.
The important thing is that Skills are not something to "add all of," but to "select and add what you need." Pick one from each section and install it today. In a week, you'll feel like you can't work without them! 🔥
