anthropics/skills vs awesome-claude-skills
anthropics/skills and awesome-claude-skills solve the same job (Skills & agents), so this is a pick-one decision. anthropics/skills is our default here: Read the spec, then write one skill of your own: a Resource Project house-style skill capturing editorial voice, headline conventions, image credit format and caption rules. That is how brand voice stops being re-explained every session.
