How to use this list
Do not install everything at once. Choose one process, define its input, expected result and failure check, then add the skill.
02
1. Frontend Design
Makes the model choose a visual direction before coding the interface. Useful for landing pages and dashboards that need more than a generic default UI.
03
2. Algorithmic Art
Builds interactive generative art with p5.js, parameters and seeds. It works for exploratory visuals, but the output still needs human art direction.
04
3. Systematic Debugging
Replaces random fixes with reproduction, failure-boundary tracing, root-cause analysis and verification. Especially useful across multiple components.
05
4. Canvas Design
Defines a design philosophy before producing a static poster or cover. It is a decision framework, not a guarantee of taste.
06
5. Theme Factory
Provides reusable color and typography systems for documents, slides and web pages. It speeds up consistency when one product uses one coherent theme.
07
6. Web Artifacts Builder
Scaffolds a richer React, TypeScript and Tailwind artifact. It makes sense for stateful interfaces and navigation, not for a simple one-page note.
08
7. Superpowers
A workflow pack for planning, TDD, code review and staged implementation. Its strength is discipline; its cost is extra ceremony on tiny tasks.
09
8. File Search
Speeds up discovery in unfamiliar repositories with ripgrep and structural search. Before a refactor, it finds both text and actual usages.
10
9. Context Optimization
Teaches compaction, noisy tool-output masking and context partitioning. Useful when an agent loses the thread because the window is overloaded.
11
10. Skill Creator
Turns repeatable instructions into a reusable skill with tests and quality criteria. Start with one stable process instead of automating everything.

Editorial take
The best toolbox is not the largest one: each skill should own one verifiable part of the workflow. The button below opens Anthropic's official Skills repository.

Key facts
Not a bundle of magic prompts, but ten focused workflow modules. Pick one for a repeatable job and verify the output with tests.
