Ask HN: Do you install other people agent skills?
I was curious for some time about other people skills. Garry Tan once posted this:
```
My CTO friend texted me: "Your gstack is crazy. This is like god mode. Your eng review discovered a subtle cross site scripting attack that I don't even think my team is aware of. I will make a bet that over 90% of new repos from today forward will use gstack."
```
His repo has 100K stars atm and have skill for probably every aspect of human life. I have seen few other repos with skills getting 100K+ stars. `skillsmp` now contains 1.6M of skills https://skillsmp.com/ which seems like a mass histeria
I do not install others skills. I can use them to get ideas and adjust to my needs but I won't install anybody's instructions, which, most probably, were written by LLM, and either not generic enough or generic but still lose to specific instructions that take into account my habits and env and context.
There was a post today, claiming that folks tested superpowers tdd and it was actually dropping coding performance: https://lnkd.in/dVm7zpcr. with conclusion
```
i would recommend caution against blindly installing skills without substantial evidence that it really helps. otherwise, you might be burning 50% (!!!) more tokens for worse results
```
I am curious whats your strategy about skills? Do you install them, if yes - do you read those skills, if yes - do you validate they help when applicable?

Show HN: A static SPA to query ATF / BATFE historic AFMER data
I guided Claude to write an SPA to make the BATFE Annual Firearms Manufacturers And Export Report (AFMER) data easier to explore.
I have the raw data in https://github.com/ryjones/AFMER . I've been collecting the raw data since 2005 or 2006 as it became available.
I started grabbing the data years ago to interrogate claims firearms manufacturers were making in public about sales volumes against the data the BATFE publishes.
