About
To Skill Or Not To Skill is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by danielrosehill. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Community GitHub marketplaces). The last change we recorded was on 2026-10-23. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-24.
Ask 'should this become a skill?' before every task: a five-step checklist (repeatable, automatable, already ours, already someone else's, else create and validate it) plus an installer that puts the heuristic in your user-level CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Want this mark on your plugin in our catalog?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record, and you can show this mark on the card, with live banners for your site and README. How verification works
You also get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from public marketplace files in GitHub repositories of their authors. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
