What Errors & stack traces skills agree on
125 skill files read, by 135 of the 162 authors on this shelf whose files we hold, 2026-09-06
Counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Where a claim sits in fewer files than authors, that is said: a claim held by forty authors across three files is one file people copied, not forty people who agreed. Near-identical wordings are grouped and the other wordings are shown, so the grouping is yours to check.

How Errors & stack traces skills are built
302 skill directories by 171 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05
The middle bundle among those shipping files is 2 files, 16.5 KB beside SKILL.md
Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.
The shape
- SKILL.md is the whole skill91 of 171 authors, 162 of 302 skills
