How these are scored

Every skill is installed in a clean workspace, run against its own demo prompt, and the result is rendered the way you would get it. A vision model then reviews those frames and scores them 1–5 on legibility, composition and whether the output matches what the skill promised. Nothing below 4 is published. The score is not a popularity number — there are no install counts or stars here, because this catalog is new and inventing those would be worse than leaving them out.

How to use one in Claude Code

1. Install it

Open the skill and copy the install command into Claude Code. It writes the skill into ~/.claude/skills.

2. Ask in plain words

Describe what you want. The skill supplies the structure and the style; you supply the content.

3. Check the output

Every skill lists what it needs from you and what it hands back, so you can tell a good run from a bad one.

Common questions

Can Claude look at images I send it?

Yes, and that needs no skill — reading and describing an image is built in. Producing a new one is the part that is not.

What does a picture cost?

About five cents at the default resolution, charged to the prepaid generation key you issue in Settings. Each skill states its own typical cost.

Does a membership include image credits?

No. Memberships unlock the skills; generation is billed to your own key, so you never pay for credits you do not use.
