I must not be likable to these bots. I’ve gotten a fat goose egg. 😂
Always Ask... (A skills architect for YOU!)
I am including my /skill-architect here. Take it, customize it, go wild. (jump to the end if you don't want to know how I got here...) I've seen quite a bit of questions on here lately around skills, so I hope this helps. TL;DR - If you aren't asking Claude questions within chat AND planning with the chat feature via word vomit, yapping, brain dumps, and simply asking good questions... you should really start. (I plan to discuss my entire workflow for pretty much anything in another post) --- ## Context & Process I'm working on building an organizational structure for my personal brand. I am following the ICM framework, and heavily focusing on the 60% architecture before I even consider orchestration or AI integration. Today, I'm working through my content creation pipeline, where I'm focusing down on individual tasks that I want each 'employee' within my 'organization' to do. Enter skills. Now, I've worked for about 2 days on-and-off yapping on walks to develop a ROBUST product requirement description/document (PRD) and standard operating procedure document (SOP). After uploading this, I asked a simple question: If anything is unclear, if you couldn't exactly replicate this, [or] if I'm missing edge cases, I want you to ask me questions back and gather as much detail as possible. Interview me, one question at a time." This went on for about an hour or so before Claude decided that it had what it needed. It spit out a comprehensive document. I opened a new chat, uploaded the file, and gave it one simple prompt: [Can you break this down into a list of skills that would be relevant to have? For reference, I define a skill (or a skills file) as an individual, granular capability that an AI agent needs to execute its job. Rather than a general instruction, a skill is a comprehensive document that uniquely describes exactly how to perform a specific task.] What this did was take everything from that document and meticulously peeled out what the jobs-to-be-done are to achieve the overarching objective. I ended up with 51 skills and one-line descriptions of what each skill did. I saved this as a markdown.

@Paul Vehoff Thanks. I hope this provides a little value. Play with it, customize it, tell me if it doesn’t work. 😂 appreciate it.

@M Cook Totally agree. I get ideas from everyone in this group sharing the details and step by steps. It’s fun.
Write a journal for your AI 📓✏️
One experiment I’ve been running is journaling every day. I basically dump everything I can recall I did or thought about during the day into a note. Tasks at work, meeting notes, conversations anything. I let Claude grab this at the end of every day and basically process any insights for me. I find the more open and varied my inputs are the more interesting results I get. I’ve primarily been doing this for content ideas but it’s helped with task management and given useful insights over multiple days with trends and things I’d like to follow through on. Plus I am getting the typical journaling benefits like better retention and presence in my days. Try it out.

I feel like this concept is underrated. Documentation of process or thought is extremely important, especially when we talk about getting better in this new world. You see journaling a key aspect of success in many areas: day trading, wine expertise, design discovery, self therapy practice. I could go on. I think the unlock will be when you put these Entries to work. I’m not a journaler. But I do wear my Omi at all times and use Notion AI Meeting Notes religiously. Not only is it my note taker, it’s my chief of staff ears, coach, psychologist, and admin. True unlock.

@Don Roy Oh man… I cannot live without these. And with the Claude MCP… I’m unstoppable.
HTML better than MARKDOWN?!?!
I just watched the video where it was speaking about markdown being outdated and agents being able to do more with HTML. I am by no way a developer I’m know , very little still learning so is this true? Will mark down be outdated soon? Looking to hear from the experienced developers.

I go back to basics. What are we dealing with? Large Language Model. We are not dealing with visual image models, imagery recognition models, etc. To me, this is a shiny toy that is being pill hyped. It’s also extremely interesting that this stems from one of the frontier model bros as “best practice”, yet it costs more tokens to run. 🧐 When I say get back to basics, I mean what is the job to be done? Are you getting consistent and repeatable results? Are you spending minimal with maximum output? Are your outcomes quality and full of value? Sure, there’s probably a time and place for html. I’m not convinced that it results in a more optimal outcome.

@Tyrone Hines Trust me… I get on kicks too. Haha! I’m currently down the rabbit hole of recreation and potential incorporation of Paperclip or Hermes. These things aren’t bad. It’s whether there’s infrastructure and guardrails already built.
Is Claude Set To Become Obsolete?
Like many young people today, I started my AI journey with ChatGPT. I am not a software engineer and have always preferred less tech in my life in general, I still prefer to read physical books today. For me, ChatGPT was first just a fancy Google, helping me find information a little quicker and answering random questions that I would think of. But it also turned into a gateway drug for what AI could do, and it wasn't until a friend told me about agentic AI that those lightbulb moments started to happen. Suddenly I could create my own website or app. I could create specific things to make MY life easier. And then it hit me, NOW I CAN DO THIS FOR SOMEONE ELSE... AND GET PAID! And like that I dove head-first, oblivious and clueless, but motivated and excited about the possibilities. Did I find Grok or Claude? NO I found MANUS AI, and after 4 months, 6 websites and 2 apps, I decided it was time to learn about Claude, I mean, all the "techies" I see can't stop talking about it! So I find Clief Notes... Now I'm realizing just how much this agentic AI has been doing for me... And I can also see how easily it could make AI models like Claude obsolete. Could I be wrong? ABSOLUTELY! But while the right person could do everything in Claude that Manus can do, I'm left wondering what happens when the next update just destroys everything else and if I should solely focus on agentic AI instead. I know I seem like a "doomsdayer", and I am no engineer or AI expert, but I can't help wondering what Claude can do that some of these high-end agentic AI models can do I would love to know your thoughts and PLEASE prove me wrong so that I can know!

Focus on the architecture, and let the model battle be the least of your concerns. A great exercise is testing your builds with different models to see the consistency and beauty of your work. it also shows gaps that should be closed if output is inconsistent. Great practice. In terms of Claude going out of business… no. I doubt it. I actually think OpenAI ceases to exist far sooner than Anthropic. Anthropic is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of strategy, architecture, and overall model quality out of the bigger players. I think what will become interesting is local/self hosted models and other models like Minimax or Manus (although currently in process of Meta acquiring them… may fall thru). We’re seeing models become a commodity and being democratized. World is moving fast.
