# Claude Power Skills > 20 drop-in power-user skills for Claude Code: session memory and consolidation, context compression, multi-agent coordination, adversarial bug hunting, security review, calibrated effort estimation and decision archaeology. No wrappers, no dependencies. Just SKILL.md files. Claude Power Skills is an open-source collection of 20 drop-in skills for Claude Code. Each encodes a workflow pattern experienced engineers use intuitively: session memory, context compression, multi-agent coordination, adversarial testing, calibrated estimation, decision archaeology. Each is structured so an AI coding agent can execute it consistently. **Author:** Irfad Imtiaz (Director of Technology, My Legal Academy) — https://irfad.me · https://www.linkedin.com/in/irfadimtiaz/ · https://github.com/irfad7 **Repository:** https://github.com/irfad7/claude-power-skills **Homepage:** https://irfad7.github.io/claude-power-skills/ **License:** MIT **Last updated:** 2026-07-24 ## What it does 20 SKILL.md files, no dependencies, grouped as: - **Session & memory** — kairos-session (lifecycle, boot, consolidation), autodream (cross-session synthesis, contradiction detection, health score), session-review (transcript replay, knowledge deltas, handoff notes), context-compression (3-layer, ~30% lossless to ~90%). - **Planning & estimation** — ultraplan (5-act planning with devil's advocate and YAGNI audits), effort-estimate (velocity-calibrated, cold-start aware, persists .velocity-profile.json), thinkback (decision archaeology: dig, audit, replay). - **Code quality** — bughunter, security-review, code-review, pr-autofix. - **Orchestration & behavior** — coordinator-mode, batch-mode, prompt-speculation, frustration-aware, anti-distillation, codebase-insight, magic-docs, stuck-recovery, undercover-mode. Install with `/plugin install irfad7/claude-power-skills`. ## Things you can ask it - /bughunter — adversarial security analysis of this codebase. - /ultraplan — deep planning with creative exploration before we build. - /effort-estimate — calibrated estimate using my past velocity. - /codebase-insight — persistent architecture analysis. - /thinkback — reconstruct why this decision was made. ## How to install Claude Power Skills 1. **Install as a plugin** — In Claude Code run: /plugin install irfad7/claude-power-skills. All 20 skills become available immediately across every project. 2. **Or cherry-pick into one project** — Clone the repo and copy the skills you want into your project's skills/ directory. 3. **Invoke by name** — Call a skill directly, for example /bughunter or /ultraplan, or let Claude pick one when it is relevant. ## Frequently asked questions ### What are Claude Code skills? Skills are Markdown files (SKILL.md) that Claude Code loads to learn a specific workflow. When a task matches a skill's description, Claude reads the file and follows those instructions instead of its default approach. No code, no dependencies. Just structured instructions. ### How do I install a Claude Code plugin? Run /plugin install irfad7/claude-power-skills inside Claude Code. All 20 skills load immediately and work across every project. You can also copy individual SKILL.md folders into a single project's skills/ directory. ### Can Claude Code remember things between sessions? Not by default. The kairos-session, autodream and session-review skills add that: a structured boot sequence that loads prior context, memory consolidation at shutdown, and cross-session synthesis that merges observations and promotes recurring patterns into reflexes. ### How do I stop Claude Code running out of context? The context-compression skill implements a three-layer pipeline: a roughly 30-40% reduction with no information loss, a 60-70% pass, and a full 85-90% compact for when a conversation has to survive at any cost. ### Do these skills work with any model? They are written for Claude Code specifically, since they use its skill system, slash commands and subagent model. The underlying patterns are portable but the files target Claude Code. ### Who made Claude Power Skills?
