– agent-browser: AI-optimized browser automation CLI with context-efficient snapshots. Use for long autonomous sessions, self-verifying workflows, video recording, and cloud browser testing (Browserbase).
– ai-artist: Generate images via Nano Banana with 129 curated prompts. Mandatory validation interview refines style/mood/colors (use –skip to bypass). 3 modes: search, creative, wild. Styles: Ukiyo-e, Bento grid, cyberpunk, cinematic, vintage patent.
– ai-multimodal: Analyze images/audio/video with Gemini API (better vision than Claude). Generate images (Imagen 4, Nano Banana 2, MiniMax), videos (Veo 3, Hailuo), speech (MiniMax TTS), music (MiniMax). Use for vision analysis, transcription, OCR, design extraction, multimodal AI.
– ask: Answer technical and architectural questions with expert analysis. Use for design decisions, best practices evaluation, solution comparison.
– backend-development: Build backends with Node.js, Python, Go (NestJS, FastAPI, Django). Use for REST/GraphQL/gRPC APIs, auth (OAuth, JWT), databases, microservices, security (OWASP), Docker/K8s.
– better-auth: Add authentication with Better Auth (TypeScript). Use for email/password, OAuth providers (Google, GitHub), 2FA/MFA, passkeys/WebAuthn, sessions, RBAC, rate limiting.
– bootstrap: Bootstrap new projects with research, tech stack, design, planning, and implementation. Modes: full (interactive), auto (default), fast (skip research), parallel (multi-agent).
– brainstorm: Brainstorm solutions with trade-off analysis and brutal honesty. Use for ideation, architecture decisions, technical debates, feature exploration, feasibility assessment, design discussions.
– chrome-devtools: Automate browsers with Puppeteer CLI scripts and persistent sessions. Use for screenshots, performance analysis, network monitoring, web scraping, form automation, JavaScript debugging.
– ck-autoresearch: Run autonomous optimization loops (deprecated alias for ck-loop). Use for metric-driven iteration, coverage improvement, performance tuning.
– ck-debug: Debug systematically with root cause analysis before fixes. Use for bugs, test failures, unexpected behavior, performance issues, call stack tracing, multi-layer validation, log analysis, CI/CD failures, database diagnostics, system investigation.
– ck-loop: Autonomous iterative optimization loop — run N iterations against a mechanical metric, learn from git history, auto-keep/discard changes. Use for improving measurable metrics (coverage, performance, bundle size, etc.) through repeated experimentation.
– ck-plan: Plan implementations, design architectures, create technical roadmaps with detailed phases. Use for feature planning, system design, solution architecture, implementation strategy, phase documentation.
– ck-predict: 5 expert personas debate proposed changes before implementation. Catches architectural, security, performance, and UX issues early. Use before major features or risky changes.
– ck-scenario: Generate comprehensive edge cases and test scenarios by decomposing features across 12 dimensions. Use before implementation or testing to catch issues early.
– ck-security: STRIDE + OWASP-based security audit with optional auto-fix. Scans code for vulnerabilities, categorizes by severity, and can iteratively fix findings using ck:autoresearch pattern.
– code-review: Review code quality with adversarial rigor. Supports input modes: pending changes, PR number, commit hash, codebase scan. Always-on red-team analysis finds security holes, false assumptions, and failure modes.
– coding-level: Set coding experience level for tailored output. Use for adjusting explanation depth, code complexity, and response format to user expertise.
– context-engineering: Check context usage limits, monitor time remaining, optimize token consumption, debug context failures. Use when asking about context percentage, rate limits, usage warnings, context optimization, agent architectures, memory systems.
– cook: Implement features, plans, and fixes with structured workflow. Use for feature development, plan execution, code implementation pipelines.
– copywriting: Conversion copywriting formulas, headline templates, email copy patterns, landing page structures, CTA optimization, and writing style extraction. Activate for writing high-converting copy, crafting headlines, email campaigns, landing pages, or applying custom writing styles from assets/writing-styles/ directory.
– databases: Design schemas, write queries for MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Use for database design, SQL/NoSQL queries, aggregation pipelines, indexes, migrations, replication, performance optimization, psql CLI.
– deploy: Deploy projects to any platform with auto-detection. Use when user says “deploy”, “publish”, “ship”, “go live”, “push to production”, “host this app”, or mentions any hosting platform (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Railway, Fly.io, Render, Heroku, TOSE, Github Pages, AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Coolify, Dokploy). Auto-detects deployment target from config files and docs/deployment.md.
– design: Design brand identity, logos, banners, and visual assets. Use for brand systems, design tokens, corporate identity programs. Not for UI code patterns.
– devops: Deploy to Cloudflare (Workers, R2, D1), Docker, GCP (Cloud Run, GKE), Kubernetes (kubectl, Helm). Use for serverless, containers, CI/CD, GitOps, security audit.
– docs: Analyze codebase and manage project documentation. Use for doc initialization, updates, summaries, codebase analysis.
– docs-seeker: Search library/framework documentation via llms.txt (context7.com). Use for API docs, GitHub repository analysis, technical documentation lookup, latest library features.
– excalidraw: Create Excalidraw diagrams — architecture, data flow, workflows, system design. Use when user wants to visualize, diagram, draw architecture, show data flow, create flowcharts, map components, or export .excalidraw files to PNG/SVG. Supports two modes: live MCP canvas (real-time) or file-based JSON + Playwright rendering. Also supports zero-config codebase auto-diagramming — just say “diagram this repo” or “visualize the architecture”.

– anthropic-skills:consolidate-memory
– anthropic-skills:docx: Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files) or Word templates (.dotx files). Triggers include: any mention of ‘Word doc’, ‘word document’, ‘.docx’, ‘.dotx’, or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a ‘report’, ‘memo’, ‘letter’, ‘template’, or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
– anthropic-skills:pdf: Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
– anthropic-skills:pptx
– anthropic-skills:schedule
– anthropic-skills:setup-cowork
– anthropic-skills:skill-creator
– anthropic-skills:xlsx: Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like “the xlsx in my downloads”) — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
– dataviz: Use this skill whenever you are about to create ANY chart, graph, plot, dashboard, or data visualization, in ANY output medium — an HTML or React artifact, inline SVG, plotting code in any library (matplotlib, plotly, d3, Recharts, …), an image/PNG you will render and upload, or a chart shared into Slack. Read it BEFORE writing the first line of chart code, choosing chart colors, building a stat tile / meter / KPI row, or laying out a dashboard. Produces visualizations that read as one system — elegant, accessible, consistent in light and dark — using a brand-neutral placeholder palette you swap for your own. Teaches a design-system-agnostic method: a form heuristic, a color formula with a runnable validator, mark specs, and interaction rules. A validated default palette is documented in `references/palette.md` — swap that file’s values for your brand’s. Triggers on: “chart”, “graph”, “plot”, “data viz”, “visualization”, “dashboard”, “analytics”, “visualize data”, “categorical colors”, “sequential / diverging palette”, “stat tile”, “sparkline”, “heatmap”, “legend”, “axis”, “tooltip”, “chart colors”, “color by series”.
– artifact-design: Design guidance and fundamentals for Artifacts.
– update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors (“from now on when X”, “each time X”, “whenever X”, “before/after X”) require hooks configured in settings.json – the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions (“allow X”, “add permission”, “move permission to”), env vars (“set X=Y”), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: “allow npm commands”, “add bq permission to global settings”, “move permission to user settings”, “set DEBUG=true”, “when claude stops show X”. For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
– keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: “rebind ctrl+s”, “add a chord shortcut”, “change the submit key”, “customize keybindings”.
– verify: Verify that a code change actually does what it’s supposed to by exercising it end-to-end and observing behavior — drive the affected flow, not just tests or typecheck. Run before committing nontrivial changes; bootstraps this repo’s project verify skill if none exists yet. Don’t invoke it on a diff that only touches tests, docs, or other code with no runtime surface to drive (a change to product source always has one) — there’s nothing to observe.
– simplify: Review the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude cleanups, then apply the fixes. Quality only — it does not hunt for bugs; use /code-review for that.
– fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
– loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. – When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. “check the deploy every 5 minutes”, “keep running /babysit-prs”). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
– schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled cloud agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. – When the user wants to schedule a recurring cloud agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run (“run this once at 3pm”, “remind me to check X tomorrow”).
– claude-api: Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration.
TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don’t skip because it “looks like a one-liner” — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens).
SKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE ‘openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama’` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don’t Read the file).
– run: Launch and drive this project’s app to see a change working. Use when asked to run, start, or screenshot the app, or to confirm a change works in the real app (not just tests). First looks for a project skill that already covers launching the app; otherwise falls back to built-in patterns per project type (CLI, server, TUI, Electron, browser-driven, library).

Choosing between HDMI and DisplayPort used to be simple, but in 2026 the decision genuinely matters for gamers chasing high frame rates, 4K clarity, and buttery-smooth variable refresh rate. Both connectors have matured into their latest generations, and the “right” cable now depends on whether you are wiring up a high-refresh PC monitor, a living-room OLED TV, or a next-gen console. This guide breaks down the real-world differences so you can plug in with confidence and never leave performance on the table.

HDMI vs DisplayPort: The Quick Answer
For most desktop gaming PCs connected to a dedicated gaming monitor, DisplayPort remains the connector of choice thanks to its higher raw bandwidth, native support for high refresh rates, and rock-solid VRR implementation. HDMI 2.1, however, has closed much of the gap and is the correct choice when you are gaming on a modern TV or connecting a console like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, both of which output exclusively over HDMI. In short: DisplayPort for the desk, HDMI for the couch. Everything below explains why, and where the exceptions live.
Bandwidth: HDMI 2.1 vs DisplayPort 2.1 and 1.4
Bandwidth is the foundation of everything a display cable can do. It determines the combination of resolution, refresh rate, and color depth you can push through the wire without compression. HDMI 2.1 delivers up to 48 Gbps of total bandwidth, with roughly 42 Gbps available for actual video data after overhead. That is a huge leap over the older HDMI 2.0 standard and is enough for 4K at 120Hz with full color.
DisplayPort 1.4, which is still extremely common on graphics cards sold over the past several years, offers 32.4 Gbps of raw bandwidth (about 25.9 Gbps usable). On paper that is less than HDMI 2.1, but DisplayPort 1.4 leans on Display Stream Compression (DSC), a visually lossless compression scheme, to hit 4K 120Hz and even 4K 144Hz. DisplayPort 2.1 is the current flagship, scaling up to an enormous 80 Gbps with UHBR20 signaling. That headroom makes DisplayPort 2.1 the most future-proof connector available in 2026, comfortably driving 4K at 240Hz or even 8K displays. Not every GPU or monitor supports the full UHBR20 tier, so always check the specific bandwidth rating rather than assuming the version number tells the whole story.
Maximum Resolution and Refresh: 4K120 and 1440p240
For the two resolutions most gamers actually care about, both connectors perform well. HDMI 2.1 handles 4K at 120Hz natively, which is exactly why it became the headline feature of current-generation consoles and gaming TVs. It can also drive 1440p at 240Hz, making it perfectly viable on a fast PC monitor. DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC matches 4K 120Hz and 1440p 240Hz, while DisplayPort 2.1 blows past both, reaching 4K 240Hz without breaking a sweat. If your ambition is a 240Hz 1440p esports panel, either connector will get you there; if you dream of 4K at 240Hz, DisplayPort 2.1 is the clear winner.
VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync
Variable refresh rate technology eliminates screen tearing and stutter by syncing the display’s refresh rate to your GPU’s frame output. This is arguably the single most impactful feature for smooth gameplay. DisplayPort has supported Adaptive-Sync (the backbone of AMD FreeSync and the foundation for NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible mode) for years, and its implementation is mature and reliable across virtually every gaming monitor.
HDMI historically lagged here, but HDMI 2.1 introduced native VRR support as part of the standard, and it also carries AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible signals. This is what allows console gamers to enjoy tear-free play on a compatible TV. Full hardware G-Sync modules with a dedicated chip in the monitor still communicate over DisplayPort, so if you specifically want a certified hardware G-Sync display, DisplayPort is required. For the far more common “G-Sync Compatible” certification, both connectors work.
Multi-Monitor Daisy-Chaining with MST
One of DisplayPort’s unique advantages is Multi-Stream Transport (MST), which lets you daisy-chain multiple monitors from a single port on your graphics card. You run one cable from the GPU to the first monitor, then a second cable from that monitor’s DisplayPort output to the next display. This dramatically simplifies cable management for productivity and sim-racing setups with triple screens. HDMI has no equivalent feature; every HDMI display needs its own dedicated port on the source device. If a clean multi-monitor arrangement matters to you, this alone can tip the decision toward DisplayPort.
Cable Length and Certification
Cable length is a practical concern that quietly ruins many setups. DisplayPort passive copper cables are generally reliable up to about 2 meters at full bandwidth, after which you may need active or fiber-optic cables. HDMI has a slight edge for longer runs, with certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cables rated to carry the full 48 Gbps across greater distances, which is convenient when your PC or console sits far from a wall-mounted TV.
Certification is critical and often overlooked. For HDMI 2.1 performance you want a cable bearing the “Ultra High Speed HDMI” certification label; unbranded cables frequently fail to sustain 48 Gbps. For DisplayPort, look for VESA-certified DP40 or DP80 cables to guarantee UHBR13.5 or UHBR20 speeds. Buying a cheap uncertified cable is the most common reason a perfectly capable monitor refuses to hit its advertised refresh rate. If you are troubleshooting a display that won’t reach 4K120 or 1440p240, the cable is the first thing to swap.
When to Use Each Connector
Match the connector to the scenario. Use DisplayPort when you are building or upgrading a gaming PC paired with a dedicated monitor, when you need multi-monitor daisy-chaining, or when you want the absolute highest refresh rates at 4K. Use HDMI when gaming on a TV, connecting a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, or when your run of cable is long. Many modern GPUs and monitors include both, so you can even keep a console on HDMI and your PC on DisplayPort simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DisplayPort better than HDMI for gaming?
For PC gaming on a dedicated monitor, DisplayPort is generally better because it offers higher raw bandwidth, mature VRR support, multi-monitor daisy-chaining, and the highest refresh rates at 4K. However, HDMI 2.1 is better for console gaming and TVs, since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X output only over HDMI. The best connector depends on your specific setup rather than one being universally superior.
Can HDMI 2.1 do 4K 120Hz?
Yes. HDMI 2.1 supports 4K at 120Hz natively with full color, which is one of its headline features and the reason it powers current-generation gaming consoles and high-end TVs. To achieve it reliably you need an Ultra High Speed HDMI certified cable and a source device with a genuine HDMI 2.1 port, not an older HDMI 2.0 connection.
Does DisplayPort support G-Sync and FreeSync?
Yes. DisplayPort supports both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync, and it is the required connector for monitors with a full hardware G-Sync module. It has offered mature Adaptive-Sync support for years, making it the most reliable choice for tear-free variable refresh rate gaming on a PC.
Which connector should I use for a 240Hz monitor?
For a 1440p 240Hz monitor, both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort will work, though DisplayPort is the traditional and most widely supported option. For a 4K 240Hz monitor, DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR20 is the recommended connector because it has the bandwidth headroom to drive that demanding combination without heavy compression. Always confirm your GPU and cable support the same tier to reach the full refresh rate.
