Lately, I’ve been using Claude Code skills/plugins.

One is called Superpowers (you should be able to find it by typing “claude code superpowers github”), and there are many other skills installed for all sorts of things. Gotta give props to whoever came up with the skills idea at Anthropic. It’s a smart way of handling context — instead of dumping pages of helper text into the prompt (for example, how to properly build a frontend website), it just provides some metadata and lets the agent decide whether it needs to load more.

I highly recommend spending time finding and installing lots of these skill plugins. They can make even the cheapest small AI models work way better.

I’ve been using the Superpowers plan mode: it creates a detailed plan first, then there’s an execute mode (and a few others I’m forgetting). I can give it a long, hard task — like converting a large app to another language - and if I run plan first and then execute, I can just let it run for hours and come back to something that’s basically done: fully tested, following best practices, with most bugs fixed.

There are some skills for frontend development, and now anytime I make a website, its crazy amazing looking and has all the stuff I usually forget.
