- SwiftUI Pro: Paul Hudson's Free Agent Skill That Fixes What AI Gets Wrong in SwiftUI →
SwiftUI Pro, Paul Hudson's open-source agent skill, is trending on GitHub with about 5,200 stars. It gives Claude Code, Codex and Gemini a 12-file review checklist targeting the mistakes LLMs actually make in SwiftUI: deprecated API, invisible VoiceOver buttons and slow views. Here is how to install it, what it checks and where it falls short.
- Ponytail: The 152K-Star Skill That Makes AI Agents Write Less Code (Tested Claims, Install Guide) →
Ponytail turns your AI coding agent into the laziest senior developer in the room: before writing code it climbs a ladder from do not build it, to reuse it, to the standard library, to a native feature. Its own agentic benchmark reports 54 percent less code and 100 percent safety. Here is how it works, what the numbers do and do not show, and how to try it without regret.
- The /show-me Skill: Making Coding Agents Draw Instead of Ramble →
Matt Pocock called /show-me "a phenomenal skill" on September 3, and the reason it lands is narrow and real: it is a style guide, not a generator.
