    View prompt
    In Claude Code, install the plugin from the repo hellosverre/claude-skins by running `/plugin marketplace add hellosverre/claude-skins` and then `/plugin install skins@hellosverre-mods`, restart, and run `/skin list`. Report the list of skins shown and the one currently active. Verify that tool rows now show icons and timings.

  • Have Claude design a custom skin from a short description

    Describe a mood in plain words and let Claude build and apply a skin you can keep.

    View prompt
    In a Claude Code session with the hellosverre/claude-skins plugin installed, ask Claude to make a skin that feels like <mood description>. Expected output: the skin is applied and listed by `/skin list`. Verify that the new skin name starts with my- when a built-in skin was repainted.

  • Read Claude's Mermaid charts and math as drawn cards

    Turn Mermaid fences and TeX math in replies into charts and typeset cards you can copy.

    View prompt

  • Fold Claude Code's routine output to keep long sessions calm

    Turn on calm mode to remove motion and fold reads and searches into single lines.

    View prompt
