Most Claude Setups Get Worse as You Add More: Why 90% of Your Hacks Do Nothing
alex_verem · x · 2026-10-03
- @claudeskills101 argues that most Claude setups degrade as they grow: prompt libraries never opened, one-off skills, connectors enabled "just in case", unread prompting guides, overbuilt folders, and long global instructions all add weight without improving output.
- The claim: about 90% of what people build around Claude never helps; only a handful of pieces do.
- The recommended move is subtraction first — delete unused skills, connectors, and saved hacks, keeping only the few configurations you actually run.
