I adopted a couple of these, the api design and ui testing ones have been particularly helpful.

Thanks for this, going to steal a lot of this. I would install your plugin, but I worry about being able to delete it later. I also think that each one of these is better served customized to a developer. That said, I'm still going to grab some of these, thanks!

I've been using Agent Skills on a new side project and I'm really impressed so far! It really holds my hand a lot of the way and really lets me focus on developing a product instead of figuring out how to build it. I get to focus much more energy on high level architecture and product design.

Very grateful for this repository and everyone who contributed to it!

From an SEO/LLMO perspective, the discoverability of these skills will be difficult without a rename: https://agentskills.io/

If Addy reads this, how do you pitch this vs. Superpowers? https://github.com/obra/superpowers

I would love to know how may people are actually using superpowers.

I showed up on the agentic dev scene prior to superpowers, and I am getting concerned that >50% of my self-rolled processes are now covered by superpowers.

I no longer trust gh stars, can anyone chime in? Is superpowers now truly adopted?

If it is truly valuable, why hasn't Boris integrated the concepts yet?

Looks like a bunch of canned skills served through a plugin?

I wonder how does this compare to superpowers

> This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the same SDLC every functioning engineering organisation runs, just in different vocabulary. [...] Amazon calls it the working-backwards memo and the bar raiser. Every healthy team has some version of this loop.

This (sdlc == working backwards & bar raiser) is so horribly wrong, that I hope this was an LLM hallucination.

In general, I'm starting to see these agent scaffolding systems as an anti-pattern: people obsess over systems for guiding agents and construct elaborate rube-goldberg machines and then others cargo-cult them wholesale, in an effort to optimize and control a random process and minimize human involvement.
