Why it was saved

  • @itsellagonzales, 22 February 2026: Acts like cheat codes that configure Claude Code to excel at specific workflows, tasks, and file generation out of the box.
  • @ihteshamali, 25 February 2026: Lets the person drop pre-built Claude skills into Claude Code, API, SDK or VS Code instead of writing workflows from scratch, and provides patterns to model custom skills on.
