Are Claude Skills mostly prompt engineering with better UX, or am I missing something? I’ve been looking at Claude Skills, and I’m trying to understand the hype.

From what I understand, a Skill is basically a structured folder with instructions, scripts, resources, templates, and docs that Claude can load when needed. But at a high level, isn’t this mostly prompt engineering made productized?

Do you guys think we focus too much on LeetCode and not enough on building real projects with passion?

Things like product thinking, UI/UX, writing clean apps, understanding users, experimenting with ideas, and building something from scratch are also very important.

I understand LeetCode is important for interviews, problem-solving, and getting into good companies.

But sometimes I feel we over-optimize for DSA and forget the actual craft of building software. In the West, it feels like personal projects, creativity, open-source work, and side projects are valued more. People often build apps, tools, games, startups, or creative experiments at a very young age.

Most of my browser work was just repetitive clicking.So, I built a Chrome extension that lets you assign shortcuts to anything on the web—links, elements, notes—and save up to 5 hours a day.

I built a keyboard hotkeys extension for everything I repeat in the browser.

The idea is simple: Everything on the web should be accessible through commands, shortcuts, routines, and AI

Examples:

  • Hit Alt+2: instantly open ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Perplexity together
  • Run your morning routine: Gmail + Slack + Calendar + Tasks open in 1 click
  • Save reusable AI workflows as commands
  • Search bookmarks, notes, snippets, links, browser history, and tools from one place
  • Build lightweight automations directly into your browser workflow

Cool things you can do:

  • AI command shortcuts
  • Multi-AI chats in one go
  • Smart notes & snippets
  • Browser automations
  • Hotkey routines
  • Universal search
  • Link collections
  • Bookmark search
  • Quick-access commands for tools/apps/sites

Right now it’s early, small, and improving daily, but people are already using it for their everyday workflows and that’s been exciting to see.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who live in browsers all day. You can try cmdOS here: Link

The idea is simple: Everything on the web should be accessible through commands, shortcuts, routines, and AI

Examples:

  • Hit Alt+2: instantly open multiple links autoamtically : ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Perplexity together
  • Run your morning routine: Gmail + Slack + Calendar + Tasks open in 1 click
  • Save reusable AI workflows as commands
  • Search bookmarks, notes, snippets, links, browser history, and tools from one place
