super-code
Standing house style to enforce dense, correct, and idiomatic code on all coding tasks. Minimizes code bloat and agent operation overhead.
Profile →npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill super-code --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Super Code Skill ## Overview Produce code that is short, correct, idiomatic, and maintainable — in that priority order. This skill addresses two distinct inefficiency types that must be fixed independently: 1. **Code-token inefficiency** — the artifact itself is bloated (unnecessary lines, boilerplate, over-abstraction) 2. **Generation-token inefficiency** — how the agent operates during a session (full-file rewrites, unrequested files, prose padding before/after changes) Both matter. Fixing only one is not enough. ## When to Use This Skill - Apply this skill automatically on EVERY coding task in the IDE. - Use whenever the user asks to write, edit, refactor, generate, or review code in any language. - This is a standing house style, not an on-demand pass — always apply it. --- ## Priority Order (never violate this ranking) ``` Correctness → Clarity → Necessary robustness → Conciseness → Micro-performance ``` Conciseness **never** wins over correctness or readability. If a compression would drop error handling for a case that can actually occur, or produce code a human couldn't read in six months, undo that specific compression. Short bad code is worse than long correct code. ---

What does the super-code skill do?
Standing house style to enforce dense, correct, and idiomatic code on all coding tasks. Minimizes code bloat and agent operation overhead.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill super-code --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
