Built an executive assistant, not for business but for my own life. Gave it full context on what I do and what I'm learning, then built two skills on top of it: a daily planner and an eating plan. Next one I'm building will help me structure how I learn new things, because consuming without a system is just wasted time. Seven days in. The challenge is done but the building isn't. 🔥

Scheduled a weekly AI industry briefing that runs on its own every week, searches for what's new and delivers a clean report without me touching anything. Used a scheduled task, not a loop. Made more sense for something that only needs to run once a week. What surprised me: it just... ran. No input, no babysitting. Came back and the report was already there.

Deployed my first automation on Trigger.dev. What it does: every Monday it searches the web and YouTube for the latest AI news, tools and startup funding, writes a structured report with an LLM, and saves it as a Doc in ClickUp. Zero manual work. What broke: all 5 API keys existed in the dashboard but only under Development. Had to add each one again under Production. Five minutes of confusion, easy fix once you see it.

Built my first Claude skill: /homegym-programmer It generates personalised home gym workout plans. Trigger it with /homegym-programmer or just say "create a workout plan for me" and it walks you through your goal, equipment and schedule before generating anything. No assumptions, fully tailored. What I optimized: the first version had generic rep ranges, so I added a baseline intake step. It now asks how many push-ups and pull-ups you can do in one set, then builds from there. If you can do 30 push-ups you're getting archer push-ups and deficit work, not standard ones. The plan adjusts to you, not some fictional average person. That last part is what made it click for me... a good skill doesn't just collect info, it uses it. 🔥
