why it matters · andrej-karpathy-skills

Andrej Karpathy (the guy who taught the world how LLMs actually work) has posted years of notes on where AI coders go wrong — overengineering, missing obvious bugs, skipping tests. Someone packaged all of it into a single CLAUDE.md file you drop into any Claude Code project. Your agent reads it on every session and stops making the mistakes Karpathy warned about. Free, no install — just copy the file in. Pairs well on top of Superpowers.

why it matters · superpowers

Superpowers turns Claude Code from a chat loop into a disciplined builder. Install it once and every new project gets the same baseline: brainstorm before code, write a plan before touching files, verify it works before claiming done. We run this on every agent in our stack. It's the reason sessions stay on track for hours of autonomous work instead of going off the rails. If you install ONE thing from the Armory, make it this one.
