AI Coding Skills & Plugins - Notes by Rishikesh V.

 1. A Skill is a trail map, not a shortcut.
You write it once so your whole team stops re-explaining the same conventions to Claude every single time. Naming rules, locator strategy, definition of done.... codified, not repeated.

2. Full autonomy broke things. Semi-autonomy shipped things.
Their pipeline agent
(Asana → Figma → Playwright → PR)
went wild without guardrails. Once they trained it on their own conventions and added evals, a full day's work came down to ~2 hours.

3. Same prompt. Completely different output.
The live demo said it all — one repo with grill-me installed, one without.

4. Same Playwright prompt. One produced a giant spec file. The other asked questions first, then built with structure.
