Monday Heads-Up: Grab My Skill Warning

Real question: Have you started seeing people online say "Grab my Skill!" yet? 🙋‍♀️

If you use Claude, you will. It's everywhere right now.

And I want to put my arm around you for a second before you click that download. ☕

Here's the part nobody tells you…

A "Skill" isn't just a note. It can carry little hidden instructions — and sometimes tiny programs that actually RUN on your computer.

Think of it like a recipe card from a stranger… except some recipe cards can quietly open your fridge, read your mail, and text your secrets to whoever wrote them.

Most are totally fine. But you can't tell the safe ones from the sneaky ones just by looking at the pretty cover.

So here's the rule, and it's a kind one:

🔥 Don't grab a Skill from just anyone. A real name. A real reputation. Someone you'd actually vouch for. Not a random viral post.

🔥 And when you do grab one — let Claude read it FIRST. Just say:

"Read this Skill out loud to me. Explain what it does in plain English. Does it try to run code, read my files, or send anything out? Then adapt it for my business — and ask me anything you need before you build it."

That one little step turns a stranger's mystery box into something that's actually yours. Clean. Safe. Built for you.

We're not scared of new tools here. 💃

We're just the smart ones who check the recipe card before we eat. 😋
