cc-skills skill

“Twenty skills, about 4,000 always-on tokens measured with tiktoken (~200 each), because until a skill fires only its one-line description is loaded. The scoping is better than most: descriptions say "use when X" and "do not use for Y," and cross-reference their siblings. The catch is the default install. Both the marketplace path and the CLI's --all load all 20, and a few triggers are deliberately greedy (frontend-design-deslop fires on "build a UI for X," deep-research on "look into X," copywriting-hooks on the word "hook"), so they fire on generic requests. Install the ones you want by name with --skill instead of taking the whole set. No scripts, no network calls of its own, no telemetry, MIT. Clean, with a cost you should choose on purpose.”

writing-humanizer skill

“A single, clean skill that lives inside a large collection, and the install command is the whole verdict. Point it at the one skill (pnpx skills add hairyf/skills --skill writing-humanizer) and it costs about 145 always-on tokens: a text editor that scans writing for two dozen AI tells (inflated significance, rule-of-three, em-dash overuse, copula avoidance) and rewrites them, from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing." Install the whole collection with --all -g and you pay for 68 skills at about 32,000 always-on tokens, most of them auto-generated from library docs and, by the author's own note, "not fully tested." The skill dir holds only markdown, no scripts or network calls. Vet the skill, not the dump.”
