Hands-on test
On 2026-11-01 this editor cloned anthropics/skills, openai/skills, vercel-labs/agent-skills, supabase/agent-skills, TerminalSkills/skills; installed 40+ SKILL.md trees; ran terminal-skills and skills CLIs successfully; validated several Anthropic scripts with py_compile / quick_validate.py.
Money-saving tip (sourced)
- Prefer Apache-2.0 / MIT skills (Anthropic example skills, OpenAI curated skills, TerminalSkills, Vercel, Supabase) over paid packs that ban sharing.
- Skip Anthropic docx/pdf/pptx/xlsx skill text redistribution — source-available with explicit no-copy/no-distribute clauses; use inside Anthropic products or link only.
- Spend on the right seat, not duplicate tools: e.g. Claude Pro annual, ChatGPT Go/Plus, Cursor Plus/Premium — prices in sibling guides.
- Nonprofit/edu paths: OpenAI nonprofit Business Standard $8–$10/user (help article); check Claude Education / Google regional offers on official pages before renewing retail.
