super-claudiofind-ai-tools

AI tool discovery skill. Use when the user wants to find, compare, or evaluate AI-powered web tools — especially when they care about whether a tool has a genuinely free tier without requiring a credit card. Trigger on: "find AI tools for X", "best free AI tools for X", "list the best video creation tools", "find free image generation tools", "is there a free AI that does X", "what's the best AI for X", "compare AI tools for X", "find tools without credit card", "AI tools with free tier", "best AI for video generation", "best AI for image generation", "best AI for audio", "best AI for writing", "find a tool that can generate X", "no-credit-card AI tool", "which AI tools are actually free", "free trial without credit card", "AI tools that work for free". Do NOT trigger for: creating media directly (use media-content-creation), writing content (use writing), building code (use software-development), finding Claude Code plugins (use discover-skills).

calculator-design

Designing interactive calculators (ROI calculators, pricing estimators, savings projections, mortgage calculators, custom assessments) that deliver real decision-support value while serving as lead magnets and qualified-traffic generators. Honest about vanity-calculator (no real value), lead-trap (hides the answer behind email), and transparent-decision-tool (gives the result and earns the email through tiered value) patterns. Triggers on calculator, ROI calculator, pricing estimator, savings calculator, custom calculator, interactive tool, decision tool, financial calculator. Also triggers when an audience needs a calculation-driven lead magnet, when a vanity calculator is producing leads but no qualified ones, or when a calculator is being scoped for the first time.
