@brailsafe has accurately captured where I am coming from.

I want more blogs/discussion from the community about the existing tools.

In 3/6 months, how many skills have you written? How many times have you used each skill? Did you have edit skills later due to unseen corner cases, or did they generalize? Are skills being used predominantly at the individual level, or are entire teams/orgs able to use a skill as is? What are the usecases where skills are not good at? What are the shortcomings?

(You being the metaphorical HN reader here of course.)

HN has always been a place of greater technical depth than other internet sites and I would like to see more of this sort of thing on the front page along with day one calls.

I'd love to see answers of those questions too, especially the team ones.

Personally the skills that I have found most useful that I've written myself are these:

- uv-tdd - run a TDD loop on a Python project via uv: https://github.com/simonw/skills/blob/main/uv-tdd/SKILL.md

- setup-to-pyproject - migrate a setup.py Python project to pyproject.toml in the way I prefer https://github.com/simonw/skills/blob/main/setup-to-pyprojec...

- datasette-plugins: everything an LLM needs to write a new Datasette plugin https://github.com/datasette/skill/blob/main/SKILL.md
