"How" you build is more important than "What" you build.

🤝 The benefits of sharing

I wrote my first Claude plugin that packages up some commands that I use in about every project I work on. This plugin allows me to have these commands globally so I don't have to keep copying them from project to project.

Although the commands originally worked pretty well, the process of releasing them publicly made them a lot better. A new implement-tests command was added. And the commands themselves were cleaned up to be clearer, which will likely help Claude do a better job.

I am continually amazed by this process. Even if no one else uses or contributes to this project, I have a better tool for myself, because I shared it.
