AI Coding Agent Skills: skill-creator, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, Superpowers & More
Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. The bottleneck is orchestrating code generation — knowing when to scaffold, when to iterate, how to maintain context across a multi-file project, and how to keep an AI agent aligned with your architecture decisions. These skills solve that orchestration problem.
ClawHub hosts AI coding agent skills, ranging from IDE integrations to full autonomous development loops.

Data Overview
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-classified coding agent skills | 147 |
| Top by downloads | skill-creator ( downloads) |
| Top by installs | skill-creator ( installs) |
| Skills with 1,000+ downloads | 12 |
一、Skill & Agent Creation
skill-creator is the most downloaded skill on the entire ClawHub platform — 42,243 downloads, 1,423 installs. It's the official guide for creating effective OpenClaw skills: system prompt structure, tool declarations, context management, and publishing workflow. The fact that the top skill is a skill about creating skills reflects where the platform is in its lifecycle — builder-first.
advanced-skill-creator (2.5k downloads) extends the base with production-grade patterns: versioning, test harnesses, and security review checklists. skill-creator-2 (3.3k downloads) adds packaging and SkillPay integration for monetization.
二、OpenCode — IDE Agent Integration
OpenCode is the CLI-based agentic coding environment that integrates with Claude. These skills wire Claude into the OpenCode runtime — giving the agent slash commands, session management, and workspace-aware context.
opencode-controller (12.7k downloads, 101 installs) is the reference implementation: control and operate OpenCode via slash commands, manage sessions, and delegate coding tasks. opencode-acp-control (2.7k) adds ACP (Agent Control Protocol) integration for programmatic orchestration. oh-my-opencode (2.3k downloads, 15 installs) extends the base with opinionated defaults and enhanced prompt management.
三、Cursor Agent
cursor-agent (9.2k downloads, 68 installs) provides comprehensive control of the Cursor CLI agent — managing sessions, applying edits, running terminal commands, and handling multi-file refactoring flows. It's the Cursor equivalent of opencode-controller: the bridge between Claude and the IDE.
四、Superpowers Framework
The Superpowers framework is a meta-skill pattern: install it at conversation start and it establishes context, preferences, and enhanced capabilities that persist through the session. using-superpowers (12k downloads, 168 installs) is the flagship — "use when starting any conversation" — setting up workspace awareness, memory systems, and expert personas.
superpowers (3.1k downloads, 37 installs) takes a spec-first, TDD, subagent-driven approach to software development: it's an opinionated engineering methodology packaged as a skill. clawgator-superpowers (960 downloads) is a fork tuned for the Clawgator developer community.
五、Architecture & Agentic Development
These skills focus on the harder problem: not writing code, but making the right architectural decisions before writing code.
senior-architect (3.9k downloads, 26 installs) activates when the user asks to "design," "architect," or "plan" — it shifts Claude into systems design mode with explicit trade-off analysis. agentic-coding (3.9k downloads, 74 installs) is a methodology skill: ship production code through acceptance-test-driven development, using AI agents for each phase.
perry-coding-agents (3.5k downloads, 11 installs) is a multi-agent coding harness — a coordinator that spawns and manages specialized sub-agents for frontend, backend, and testing tasks. giga-coding-agent (1.4k downloads) extends this pattern with a self-managing coding loop.
六、Coding Loops & Autonomous Agents
These skills implement persistent, loop-based development agents: they receive a task, implement it, test it, and iterate until done — without requiring a human in each loop.
kilocli-coding-agent (2k downloads) wraps the KiloCLI framework for long-running coding tasks. ralph-loop-agent (2k) implements a monitored autonomous loop with checkpoint-based verification.
七、Code Mentoring & Explanation
Not every use case is building — sometimes it's learning. These skills shift Claude into teaching mode.
code-mentor (5k downloads, 29 installs) is a comprehensive AI programming tutor: it adapts to skill level, explains concepts in context, and provides exercises. explain-code (2.6k downloads, 36 installs) visualizes code behavior with diagrams and analogies — particularly useful for understanding unfamiliar codebases.
How to Choose
| I need... | Recommended skill |
|---|---|
| Learn to build OpenClaw skills | skill-creator |

| Work inside Cursor | cursor-agent |
| Set up a powerful session from scratch | using-superpowers |
| Architect a system before coding | senior-architect |
| TDD / acceptance-test-driven workflow | agentic-coding |
| Autonomous multi-step coding loop | ralph-loop-agent |
| Understand unfamiliar code visually | explain-code |
| Learn programming with AI tutoring | code-mentor |
Last Words
skill-creator's dominance tells you who ClawHub's power users are. 42k downloads for a skill about building skills means most active users are developers building on the platform, not end-users consuming finished tools. This is a builder ecosystem at its core.
The OpenCode vs. Cursor split reflects an IDE philosophy split. OpenCode is CLI-native and API-first. Cursor is GUI-first and IDE-integrated. Neither wins universally — your choice depends on whether you prefer terminal-driven or editor-driven workflows.
using-superpowers with 168 installs vs. 12k downloads has the highest install-to-download ratio among top skills. People who install this skill use it constantly — it's a session initializer, run at the start of every coding conversation. The download count represents people who tried it; the install count represents people who made it part of their workflow.
The missing skill: a unified multi-IDE agent. opencode-controller, cursor-agent, and their variants are all IDE-specific. There's no single skill that abstracts across IDEs. As agentic development matures, expect this gap to close.
