Evaluation notes

What to check before installing

What makes a Claude Code skill worth installing

Start with skills that turn fuzzy coding tasks into repeatable actions. The best candidates have clear install paths, recent repository activity, and a narrow workflow you can test in one session.

  • +Prefer skills with explicit repository, testing, review, or browser-verification behavior.
  • +Use GitHub adoption and freshness as screening signals, not as the final decision.
  • +Run one task end to end before adding multiple companion skills.

How to use this guide

Treat the shortlist as a starting point. Open each decision page, copy the install command, and compare the implementation path against your actual Claude Code workflow.

  • +Pick one primary skill for the job-to-be-done.
  • +Add a companion only when it removes a real manual step.
  • +Review permissions and license before production use.
