The Only 5 Claude Skills I Kept Out Of 100

Cooper had 100+ skills and connectors installed and deleted everything that had not earned daily use. These are the 5 that survived: the exact stack kept for content creation and productivity. kie.ai, Notion MCP, Vercel Agent Browser, last30days, and Hyperframes.

What You'll Learn

• The 5 connectors that earned daily use out of 100+
• Connector 4 is the one Cooper cannot live without
• All install links + starter prompts

1. kie.ai (MCP)

kie.ai connects Claude to OpenAI's gpt-image-2 AND Seedance for video generation. Create images and videos from inside Claude and pipe them straight into every other workflow: carousels, ad creatives, hand raisers, all of it.

• Install: kie.ai (sign up, generate an API key, install the MCP via your Claude config)
• What it generates: images via gpt-image-2 + videos via Seedance, all from one chat
• Cost: $0.06/image flat. Video pricing varies by length and model

Starter prompt:

Generate a product photo of [product] on a clean white background with the text
"Limited Edition" on the corner - photorealistic, high resolution.

When to use kie.ai vs Nano Banana: kie.ai for finals, commercials, ad creatives, anything text heavy or photoreal. Nano Banana (free Gemini MCP) for drafts, social content, rapid iteration. Both belong in the stack. kie.ai is where the money shots come from.

2. Notion MCP

Notion MCP gives Claude full control of your Notion workspace from chat. Create pages, query databases, update properties, append blocks. Cooper calls this the "literal backbone" of how he stays organized: Script Library, Tasks DB, Inspiration Library, and Projects all live in Notion and Claude operates on them directly.

• Install: developers.notion.com/docs/mcp (follow the official Notion MCP setup)
• What it controls: every database, every page, every property in your Notion workspace
• What it replaces: copy paste from Claude into Notion, manual property updates, Notion's own AI

Starter prompt:

Find every task in my Notion Tasks DB with status In Progress. Group them by
project and write a status summary I can copy into my morning brief.

Connect once, automate forever: the first time you give Claude access to your Notion DB IDs, save them somewhere durable (Cooper keeps his in ~/.config/notion-content/config.json). After that every prompt that touches Notion runs without you having to remember IDs.

3. Vercel Agent Browser (MCP)

Vercel's purpose built browser for AI agents. It replaces Claude's clunky built in browser tool. Better at login flows, complex forms, dynamic sites, and multi step web tasks. The browser was built FOR agents, not bolted on.

• Install: search "Vercel Agent Browser MCP" in your Claude desktop or VS Code MCP config
• What it replaces: Claude's built in browser tool, manual web scraping, paid scrape APIs
• Best for: dashboards behind logins, multi step forms, scraping competitive data

Starter prompt:

Log into [account name] and pull the last 30 days of [data type] into a CSV. If you
hit a CAPTCHA, pause and tell me what it shows.

4. last30days (Skill): The One Cooper Can't Live Without

last30days researches any topic across 8 platforms (Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, web) in one prompt. Cooper runs it before every script so he knows exactly what is trending right now.

• Install: github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill
• What it replaces: manual scrolling across 8 platforms, paid trend report subscriptions, weekly newsletter sweeps
• How fast: a full research run takes 2 to 5 minutes for one topic across all 8 platforms

Starter prompt:

/last30days AI for fitness - focus on viral hooks, save the top 10 to my
inspiration library

Why this is the foundation: every other connector in this stack is more powerful when fed fresh trend data. last30days is the input. kie.ai, Hyperframes, even Notion organization, all of them get sharper outputs when you point them at last30days research first.

5. Hyperframes (Skill)

HeyGen's open source video composition framework. Claude writes the video directly in HTML/CSS, then renders to MP4. Captions, animations, transitions, voiceover, audio reactive effects, all from one prompt. Cooper uses this for every short form reel he posts now.

• Install: github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes (clone, npm install, follow the README)
• What it replaces: Adobe Premiere ($22.99/mo), CapCut Pro, video editing freelancers ($300+/edit)
• Learning curve: real but pays back fast. The first composition takes hours, by your third you are at 20 minutes

Starter prompt:

Build a 30-second Hyperframes composition with: voiceover from this script,
captions in karaoke style, frosted-glass overlay at 60% alpha, beat-synced cuts
every 2 seconds. Render at 1080p vertical.

How To Install All 5 In One Claude Config

Skills (last30days, Hyperframes) install by cloning the repo into ~/.claude/skills/ with no MCP setup needed. MCPs (kie.ai, Notion, Vercel Agent Browser) install via your Claude desktop or VS Code config file (claude_desktop_config.json or similar). All 5 run side by side without conflict.

1. Skills (clone into ~/.claude/skills/). git clone the last30days and Hyperframes repos directly into your skills folder. Restart Claude. They auto load.
2. MCP servers (add to claude_desktop_config.json). Each MCP has a JSON config snippet on its install page. Drop kie.ai, Notion MCP, and Vercel Agent Browser into the mcpServers block. Restart Claude.
3. Verify. In Claude, type /last30days to confirm the skill loaded. Type "list MCP tools" to see kie-image, notion, and vercel-agent-browser tools.

What Got Deleted To Make Room

Most Claude MCPs and skills look exciting in a tutorial, then never get opened again. Here is what got cleared:

• Generic "productivity" MCPs that wrapped APIs he did not use
• Browser MCPs that pre date Vercel's (Playwright MCP is fine but Vercel's is cleaner for agent tasks)
• Image gen MCPs except for the 2 he actually uses (kie.ai for finals, Nano Banana for drafts)
• Half finished tools where the GitHub README was longer than the actual feature
• Anything he had not opened in 14 days

The 14 day rule: if you have not used a connector in 14 days, delete it. The stack you actually run is small. The stack you have installed is huge. Closing that gap makes Claude faster and your decisions cleaner.
