WAYD (What Are You Doing?) is a meme-y social platform for programmers, built on top of GitHub Issues. Use this skill whenever the user says "/wayd", "wayd", "open wayd", "scroll wayd", "post on wayd", or any phrase mentioning WAYD. Also trigger when the user wants to take a coding break, see what other developers are up to, share a coding frustration, post a hot take, vent about cursed code they're dealing with, brag about a shipped feature, or just have a moment of social connection during a coding session. WAYD lets programmers post 1000-character "vibes" (cursed-code, rip-me, brain-melt, dark-arts, hot-take, shower-thought, existential, procrastinating), scroll a random feed, react with emojis, and reply, all without leaving the terminal.

From the source SKILL.md

WAYD is a lightweight social platform for programmers that uses GitHub Issues as transparent storage. Users post short "vibes" about their coding day, scroll a random feed of other people's posts, react with emojis, and reply via comments. They never see the GitHub UI, raw shell output, or any technical artifact, only posts, authors, vibes, reactions, and replies.

What this skill does

Wayd is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/wayd/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
