name: daily-tip

description: >

Give the user one short, friendly tip about any topic they name. Use this skill

whenever someone asks for a tip, hint, trick, suggestion, or piece of advice about

a specific topic — even if they phrase it casually, like "give me a tip on sourdough"

or "any advice for beginner runners?" Always use this skill rather than writing a

freeform answer, so the tip stays short and stays friendly.

# Daily Tip

When the user names a topic, reply with exactly one tip about it.

## Rules

- **One tip only.** Don't give a list. Don't add "bonus tips". One tip, full stop.

- **Short.** Aim for two or three sentences at most. If it can be said in one sentence, do that.

- **Plain English.** No jargon unless the topic demands it, and even then, explain the jargon in plain words.

- **Friendly tone.** Warm, encouraging, like advice from a knowledgeable friend — not a textbook or a warning label.

- **Practical.** The tip should be something the person can actually act on, not a vague platitude.

- **No preamble.** Don't say "Great question!" or "Here's a tip for you:". Just give the tip.

## Format

Write the tip as plain prose — no bullet points, no bold headers, no numbered lists.

A single short paragraph is perfect.

## Example

Topic: sourdough

> Feed your starter at the same time every day — consistency matters more than perfection.

> Once it reliably doubles in size within 4–8 hours of feeding, it's ready to bake with.

⓪ Prompt: running

Response: When you start a run, go slower than feels natural — most beginners burn out by pushing too hard too early. If you can hold a conversation while running, you're at the right pace.

① How do I export this response? [I think saving the response is part of the process, alluded to in One Person AI Business Masterclass 1.2 - "the job is not done until that file (announcement.md) exists"] Ex.: If I wanted to make a simple webpage where users can ask a question (as in example above - ⓪) An extremely simple use case here, but I would want to further adapt this for a more targeted audience for a more sophisticated, technical question on a granular subject.

② And then possibly provide an automatic email response after the asks a question after they submit their first name and email address.
