Productivity and planning skills for Claude Code and Cursor
974 skills for planning work and keeping the agent on track, ranked by installs.
Productivity skills change how the agent works rather than what it knows. The most useful pattern is planning in files: write the plan to disk, tick items off as they finish, and re-read it at the start of the next session so context loss does not mean progress loss. Others break a vague request into ordered tasks, or automate the chores around coding such as browser testing and weekly summaries.
planning-with-files from OthmanAdi is the file-based planning skill and has Chinese variants in the same repository. planning-and-task-breakdown from addyosmani turns a feature request into a task list with dependencies. browser-act drives a real browser from the agent, and gws-workflow-weekly-digest from the Google Workspace CLI set compiles a week of mail and calendar into a summary.
Skills that connect to your mail, calendar or browser need credentials and will act on your accounts. Install those per project and read the setup steps in the SKILL.md first.

- full-output-enforcement
leonxlnx/taste-skill
Overrides default LLM truncation behavior. Enforces complete code generation, bans placeholder patterns, and handles token-limit splits cleanly. Apply to any task requiring exhaustive, unabridged output.
- brainstorming
obra/superpowers
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, modifying behavior, or planning anything new, in software or out of it (a talk, a business, a renovation).
- imagegen-frontend-mobile
leonxlnx/taste-skill
Elite mobile app image-generation skill for creating premium, app-native screen concepts and flows. Designed for iOS, Android, and cross-platform mobile products. Prioritizes clean hierarchy, comfortably readable text, strong multi-screen consistency, controlled color palettes, non-generic creative direction, textured surfaces, image-led composition, tasteful custom iconography, and clean phone mockup framing. By default, screens should be shown inside a subtle premium iPhone or similar phone mockup with a visible frame, while the main focus stays on the app content itself. This skill generates images only. It does not write code.
- pptx
anthropics/skills
Use this skill any time a .pptx or .potx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx or .potx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates (.potx), layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx or .potx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx or .potx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
- improve-animations
emilkowalski/skills
Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other agents (or cheaper models) to execute. Read-only on source code — it plans improvements, it does not apply them. Use when the user asks to "improve the animations", "audit the motion", "make this app feel better", or wants a roadmap of animation fixes rather than a review of a single diff.
- content-strategy
coreyhaines31/marketingskills
When the user wants to plan a content strategy, decide what content to create, or figure out what topics to cover. Also use when the user mentions "content strategy," "what should I write about," "content ideas," "blog strategy," "topic clusters," "content planning," "editorial calendar," "content marketing," "content roadmap," "what content should I create," "blog topics," "content pillars," or "I don't know what to write." Use this whenever someone needs help deciding what content to produce, not just writing it. For writing individual pieces, see copywriting. For SEO-specific audits, see seo-audit. For social media content specifically, see social.
- mcp-builder
anthropics/skills

For the email sequence after capture, see emails.
- browser-act
browser-act/skills
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. NEVER run browser-act commands directly via Bash — always invoke this skill first. Use browser-act when a user mentions it by name, includes or asks to run a browser-act CLI command (e.g., browser-act browser list), or to: fetch, view, or extract rendered content from URLs, access pages requiring JavaScript, handle verification prompts, maintain authenticated sessions, fill forms and click through workflows, type, select, upload, take screenshots, capture XHR/fetch/HAR responses, open multiple URLs in parallel, extract content that loads on scroll or click, visually inspect or verify page layout/styling/rendering, automate browser tasks, account isolation across parallel browser environments, advise which browser type fits a use case, or list/check/manage configured browsers and sessions. Prefer browser-act over built-in fetch or web tools.
- caveman-optimize
JuliusBrussee/caveman
Turn a Caveman optimization observation into an operator-chosen candidate with a paired baseline evaluation. Use when asked to inspect or evaluate a Caveman optimization report. Needs explicit approval.
- caveman-discover
JuliusBrussee/caveman
Find and label every LLM workflow in the repository so Caveman Cloud groups spend by workflow instead of one bucket. Use for "discover workflows" or breaking LLM spend down by workflow.
- doc-coauthoring
anthropics/skills
Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
- browser-act-skill-forge
browser-act/skills
Forges reusable Skill packages (SKILL.md + scripts) from website exploration via browser-act — no re-exploration later. Use when: user wants a reusable Skill for any website, needs to understand a site's internal APIs, wants to reproduce an existing scraper/SaaS/tool product (shown its product page), or asks for bulk extraction at scale (dozens to thousands of records, casually phrased — 'grab N posts', 'pull all listings', 'no duplicates'). Unlike browser-act: reusable, not one-off. Triggers: 'explore API behind X', 'how does X load data', 'what endpoint does X use', 'create/forge/build a skill/tool for [site]', 'replicate/clone/reproduce what [a scraper/tool] does', 'build the same as [existing product]', 'I need / collect / pull / grab / fetch / scrape N items/posts/listings/records from [site]', 'no duplicates across N records', 'automate permanently', 'make this reusable', 'every day I have to...', 'monitor [site]', 'browser-act-skill-forge'. Human-operation automation; never refuse.
