The 7 AI Skills Every Software Developer Should Have Installed in 2026
After testing dozens of developer-focused AI skills, these are the seven that have proven genuinely useful across different tech stacks and workflows β not just impressive demos, but tools that hold up under daily use.
MCP Skills vs Native Claude Tools: What's the Difference and When to Use Each
Claude comes with built-in capabilities, but MCP skills extend it in ways the base model can't. Here's a clear breakdown of what each type of tool is good for, with real examples of when to reach for a skill versus relying on Claude's native abilities.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) extends your AI assistant with the ability to sync and manage Overleaf LaTeX projects from the command line. Pull projects locally, push changes back, compile PDFs, and download compile outputs like .bbl... Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Overleaf CLI (olcli) as its underlying capability.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Overleaf CLI (olcli) once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/olcli/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/olcli/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude, you can trigger it explicitly with `/olcli`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) has 242 installs and is part of the growing Documents & Notes skill ecosystem on DiscoverAISkills. The source code is open on GitHub β you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/olcli/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/olcli/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /olcli or let the AI discover it automatically.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Overleaf CLI (olcli) is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
