💰 Sunday Bonus #93: Three Claude Code skills that auto-customize themselves to your project

I already shared two “Claude Code” Sunday Bonuses before:

• 9 simple-yet-powerful Claude Code workflows for everyday users

• 100+ use cases & prompts for Claude Code (swipe file)

Today, I’m combining them into a single page called “Claude Code Essentials” and throwing a brand-new bonus into the mix that revolves around useful skills:

I expect this page to grow as I add skills, workflows, and other Claude Code goodies.

Skills are reusable instructions that Claude Code follows every time you run them.

I’ve built many skills for my own needs, but three stood out as being useful to anyone.

So I bundled them into a Skills Starter Pack: self-installing skills that customize themselves to your setup in minutes:

1. Draft Reviewer: Run this whenever you have a piece of writing to review.

   

2. Session Saver: Run this at the end of each productive Claude Code session.

   

3. Workspace Auditor: Run this monthly to keep your setup in good shape.

   

The part I’m happiest with is that these aren’t cookie-cutter downloads.

Each skill scans your project first, then walks you through a short interview to build a version of itself that fits how you actually work.

From your side, it’s one copy-paste trigger prompt and a few quick answers.

Claude Code crafts the entire skill on its own, right in your working folder.

Enjoy:
