Claude Skills is a game changer for power users who are tired of prompting LLMs to do things exactly how they want. Here's the 15 skills that Anthropic pre-packaged. Each one is essentially a long pre-defined prompt for a specific task, a hybrid between a custom system prompt
@deedydas Think you’ll end up using Claude Skills more than MCP?
@daniel_mac8 personally yes
@deedydas But they don't have the chips in this long long race for compute
@deedydas I just added a plugin with skills that acts as a “orchestrator” among the other plugins I’m updating to all include specialized skill sets. Update add your own….i call it the pi pathfinder - plugin pathfinder http://Www.claudecodeplugins.i...
@deedydas Yeah I tried this with sub-agents but it was too fragile. Looking forward to toying around this weekend
@deedydas have you used /agents, how is this different?
@deedydas How difficult is this from GitHub Copilot Awesome prompts, instructions, chat modes?
@deedydas I don't see the code-to-music skill from your image pre-packaged in my Claude app. Can you point me to the code-to-music skill?
@deedydas Long-term direction is exactly opposite of whatever this is, models will eventually get personalised enough.
@deedydas Feels like modular intelligence in motion. If these skills actually stack, we're approaching real plugin territory-curious who pushes this into something weirder or more specialized next.
@deedydas did you make this in an artifact? or does anthropic also have a marketplace? i can only see their repo
@deedydas Impressive list already from Anthropic, and loving this new feature. I have spend the morning creating my own with the help of the documentation, sharing some to those who want.
@deedydas less prompting, more creating?
@deedydas Very cool feature, I sorta did this before in a weird way but this is way cooler and easier. I love it, skills. I have communication standards that took a long time to perfect, now I can add it easily
@deedydas There is already a common knowledge of repeatable errors made by LLMs. Someone should make a living cataloque of skills to aboid them.
@deedydas Thanks
@deedydas What is the link for this?
@deedydas How's it different from a slash command?
@deedydas Pre-defined prompts are truly game changer and revolutionary lol
@deedydas Is this basically like a custom GPT equivalent
@deedydas Even I got the same result for brand toolkit prompt I did :) Hope it is giving different palette to everyone !
@deedydas zero useful ones
@deedydas While Claude Skills are great for repeatable, structured tasks, they remain pre-packaged workflows, not true agentic autonomy. The real game-changer is universal tool execution; current LLM agents only achieve a 35.8% success rate on complex, real-world web benchmarks,
@deedydas Curiously, pre-packaged skills might finally make AI do exactly what you want without endless tweaking.
@deedydas I can already see this becoming standard for pros
