I screened 1,400 Claude Code Skills, leaving 5 that I use every day. Let me pour cold water on it first: most of the Skills have been replaced with shells. Prompt This is my biggest feeling after installing dozens of them. For many so-called Skills, when you open SKILL.md, the core is a prompt - "You are an XX expert, please follow the following steps...". For this kind of thing, you can achieve the same effect by speaking directly to the AI, and there is no need to install a Skill at all. A truly valuable Skill must change the AI workflow, not just change a prompt.

After installation, the behavior pattern of AI writing code will change fundamentally. Before installation vs after installation: Core change: AI changes from "obedient typist" to "thinking colleague". Someone posted control experiment data in the GitHub Issue: for 12 tasks of the same complexity, sessions with Superpowers installed had an average Token usage 14% lower than those without it. The reason is counter-intuitive - because it takes the time to ask clearly about the requirements first and avoids rework later.

Taste Skill does not provide any components
