The 10, in one picture

Try this first

Matt Pocock's /grill-me needs no code and no project. It is the quickest way to feel what a good skill changes. It takes about five minutes.

Paste into Terminal (the normal prompt, not inside Claude Code):

claude plugin install mattpocock-skills@claude-plugins-official

Restart Claude Code, then paste this into Claude Code:

/grill-me I want to plan a weekly newsletter workflow. Interview me until every decision is resolved.
What you should get back

Claude asks you questions before it writes anything.
The check: if it jumps straight to a plan, the skill has not loaded. Restart Claude Code and try again.

That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
