## Why it was saved

- [@itsellagonzales, 22 February 2026](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVDItfGjQd1/): 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](https://x.com/ihteshamali/status/2026752089473314975): 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.
