# Skills Cookbook > Example-prompt cookbook for the hub's skills — recipes, combos, and anti-patterns. Use when the user wants example prompts, asks how to use or combine skills (project understanding, feedback loops, product, marketing, design/frontend), or wants to reduce cognitive load while navigating the skill catalog. - Skill: `andersonlimahw/skills-cookbook` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 4 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add andersonlimahw/skills-cookbook` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/andersonlimahw/skills-cookbook/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Marketing & Growth - Author: Andersonlimahw (https://skillmd.com/u/andersonlimahw) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/andersonlimahw/skills-cookbook --- # Skills Cookbook Ready-to-paste prompt recipes that teach efficient use of this hub's skills — less trial-and-error, less cognitive load. Every recipe names the skills by their exact identifier, uses ``, and ends with a verifiable success criterion. ## How to use 1. Pick the track (below) and the recipe that matches your situation. 2. Copy the prompt, fill in the ``. 3. Paste it in chat. On non-trivial requests, the hub's standard pipeline runs on top: `senior-prompt-engineer` → `skills-selector` → `smart-dispatch`. 4. Check the result against the recipe's **Success:** line before accepting it. ## Combination rules 1. **Combine different layers, never the same layer twice.** Example: visual direction (`frontend-design`) + design data (`ui-ux-pro-max`) + compliance (`a11y-audit`) works; two aesthetics together doesn't. 2. **Max ~3 skills per prompt.** More than that dilutes context and weakens all of them. 3. **One aesthetic at a time.** `minimalist-ui`, `industrial-brutalist-ui`, `high-end-visual-design`, and `emil-design-eng` are mutually exclusive art directions. 4. **One loop driver at a time.** `karpathy-loop`, `error-fixer-loop`, `api-test-loop`, and `chrome-qa-loop` own their cycle; chain them in sequence, never run two in parallel on the same target. 5. **Name the skill exactly** in the prompt — the selector activates with far more precision. 6. **Always close with a verifiable success criterion** (Karpathy: strong verifiable goals let the agent iterate independently). ## Anti-patterns (never combine) | Skills | Type | Rule | |---|---|---| | `minimalist-ui` × `industrial-brutalist-ui` × `high-end-visual-design` × `emil-design-eng` | mutually exclusive | pick ONE art direction per screen/project | | `design-taste-frontend` × any aesthetic above | overlap | use taste as a general baseline OR a specific aesthetic, not both | | `feature-flag` × `feature-flags` | overlap | one-shot implementation/fix OR continuous CI tracking — pick by objective, not both as driver | | `code-smell` × `code-smell-detector` | overlap | on-demand analysis OR continuous CI enforcement — pick by objective | | `doc-driven-grilling` × `task-interrogator` | overlap | same base grilling; one produces docs (ADRs/glossary), the other produces tasks — fine in sequence, not as parallel drivers | | `competitors` × `competitor-profiling` | overlap | broad market scan OR deep single-player profile | | `webapp-testing` × `playwright` × `chrome-qa-loop` | overlap | point-in-time toolkit OR scripted E2E OR exploratory loop — pick by goal | | `image` × `imagegen` × `brandkit` | overlap | one-off asset OR frontend imagery OR brand board | | `caveman` × `teaching` / `learning-output-style` | conflicting goals | max compression vs. didactic — never in the same turn | | `copywriting` × `copy-editing` | pass conflict | writing from scratch OR editing existing copy; sequential ok, simultaneous not | | `karpathy-loop` × `error-fixer-loop` (same target) | driver conflict | one loop owns the cycle; the other enters as a step, not as driver | | `X` × `X-advisor/-watch/-runner/-guardian/-detector` | hub-wide rule | one-shot (investigate/fix now) × continuous (CI gate) — pick by objective, never both as driver of the same pass (`async-patterns`×`async-advisor`, `bundle-analyzer`×`bundle-watch`, `load-test`×`load-test-runner`, `chaos-test`×`chaos-runner`, `a11y-audit`×`a11y-guardian`) | | `create-plugin` × `plugin-creator` × `plugin-generator` × `skill-creator` | generator overlap | ONE generator per artifact; in this repo the canonical layout from `validate_plugins.py` wins | | `security-best-practices` × `security-guidance` | overlap | code checklist OR contextual guidance — don't stack | | `playwright` × `playwright-interactive` | overlap | scripted E2E OR interactive session | | `openapi-generate` × `openapi-hub` | overlap | one-shot spec generation OR continuous multi-spec management | | `cli-creator` × `cli-generator` | overlap | pick by target runtime (Codex-composable vs. Bun spec-first) | | `imagegen` × `imagegen-frontend-web` / `imagegen-frontend-mobile` | overlap | general purpose OR frontend-specific — by asset purpose | ## Combos that work - `frontend-design` + `ui-ux-pro-max` + `a11y-audit` — direction + data + compliance - `image-to-code` + `ui-ux-pro-max` — screenshot → code with design tokens - `copywriting` + `marketing-psychology` + `emails` — message + persuasion + channel - `seo-audit` + `ai-seo` + `schema` — classic SEO + AI search + structured data (complementary, not redundant) - `pricing` + `paywalls` + `churn-prevention` — end-to-end monetization funnel - `product-marketing` + `launch` + `social` — positioning + launch + distribution - `architecture-deepener` + `llm-wiki-curator` + `teaching` — understand + document + learn - `api-test-loop` + `verification-before-completion` — validation loop + completion gate - `chrome-qa-loop` → `bug-diagnostics` → `error-fixer-loop` — finding → diagnosis → fix sequence (never simultaneous) - `karpathy-guidelines` + `karpathy-recipe` + `karpathy-loop` — principles always, recipe for large work, loop for metrics (complementary) - `vercel-react-best-practices` + `vercel-optimize` + `bundle-analyzer` — patterns + vitals + bundle weight - `openapi-generate` + `postman-generator` + `api-test-loop` — spec → collection → live validation - `db-index-advisor` + `supabase-postgres-best-practices` — correct index on correct modeling - `code-review-expert` + `commit-quality` + `pr-review-canvas` — review + hygiene + presentation - `notion-spec-to-implementation` + `doc-driven-grilling` — spec grilled before it becomes code - `decision-design` + `type-safe-contracts` + `token-benchmark` — define → validate → measure typed decisions ## Tracks | Track | Sub-skill | Focus | |---|---|---| | Project understanding | [prompts-project-understanding](skills/prompts-project-understanding/SKILL.md) | cut cognitive load: architecture, wiki, guided learning, spec grilling | | Feedback loops | [prompts-feedback-loops](skills/prompts-feedback-loops/SKILL.md) | continuous validation: API, exploratory QA, error fixing, optimization | | Product | [prompts-product](skills/prompts-product/SKILL.md) | positioning, monetization, onboarding, launch, user feedback | | Marketing | [prompts-marketing](skills/prompts-marketing/SKILL.md) | copy, SEO + AI search, email, social, brand | | Design & Frontend | [prompts-design-frontend](skills/prompts-design-frontend/SKILL.md) | visual direction, aesthetics, screenshot-to-code, accessibility | | Karpathy method | [prompts-karpathy](skills/prompts-karpathy/SKILL.md) | guidelines, recipe for large work, principle-based review, metric loop | | Vercel & React | [prompts-vercel-react](skills/prompts-vercel-react/SKILL.md) | best practices, optimization, composition, view transitions, RN/Expo, deploy | | Engineering quality | [prompts-engineering-quality](skills/prompts-engineering-quality/SKILL.md) | PR review, async, database, threat model, load/chaos, i18n | | APIs & CLIs | [prompts-apis-clis](skills/prompts-apis-clis/SKILL.md) | OpenAPI, Postman, agent-friendly CLIs, CLI wrapping | | Mobile & Release | [prompts-mobile-release](skills/prompts-mobile-release/SKILL.md) | iOS/Android go/no-go, App Store Connect, Play API, ASO | | Data & Backend | [prompts-data-backend](skills/prompts-data-backend/SKILL.md) | Supabase/Postgres, Firebase, database decisions, incidents | | Knowledge & Notion | [prompts-knowledge-notion](skills/prompts-knowledge-notion/SKILL.md) | decision capture, meetings, research docs, spec-to-code, persistent learning | | Typed decisions | [prompts-typed-decisions](skills/prompts-typed-decisions/SKILL.md) | provider-neutral decision patterns, contracts, uncertainty routing, token/cost evidence | | Meta-harness | [prompts-meta-harness](skills/prompts-meta-harness/SKILL.md) | decision-native pipeline, portable subagents, authoring, hooks, migration, tokens | | A–Z index | [prompts-catalog-index](skills/prompts-catalog-index/SKILL.md) | every plugin in the hub with a one-line when-to-use hint | ## Guardrails - All prose — recipes, hints, headers — is written in English, matching this project's language policy. Skill identifiers are always exact. - The cookbook points and teaches — it does not replicate the content of the target skills. - Every skill cited exists in this repo's `plugins/`; if a recipe cites something that no longer exists, the recipe is broken and must be fixed.
