Skills are reusable process modules (a folder with a SKILL.md) that enforce structured AI behavior beyond simple prompts. Top picks include Superpowers (a 20+ module engineering workflow framework with TDD, code review, and subagent dispatch), Karpathy Guidelines (coding discipline rules from Andrej Karpathy), Frontend Design (to avoid generic AI-generated UI), Webapp Testing (Playwright-based UI automation), Security Review (vulnerability scanning before PRs), MCP Builder (for building MCP servers), Skill Creator (a meta-Skill that generates new Skills), GSD (fast execution without planning overhead), GStack (YC iterate-fast philosophy), and Composio (connects 1,000+ external apps). The post advises starting with Superpowers and adding Skills on demand rather than hoarding many. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
