The testing layer is more interesting than the 12 skills themselves.
Curious whether buyers are paying mainly to save the implementation time, or because the fact that you actually tested the pack removes the uncertainty of trusting community-made skills and hooks.
Honestly, mostly the second one. Writing 12 skill files isn't hard. Anyone could knock that out in an afternoon with Claude Code itself. What's actually hard to do yourself is the boring part: setting up synthetic repos, hitting edge cases like no origin remote, checking what happens on Windows vs Mac. That's the stuff that takes forever and that most people just skip and hope for the best. So yeah, I think what people are paying for is mostly "someone already found the bugs so I don't have to."
