  1. There is one particular GitHub repo that There is one particular GitHub repo that I've been eyeing for a long time and I've been eyeing for a long time and I've been eyeing for a long time and just never took the time to dive into. just never took the time to dive into. just never took the time to dive into. It's by a person that I've interacted It's by a person that I've interacted It's by a person that I've interacted with a bunch in the past who if you've with a bunch in the past who if you've with a bunch in the past who if you've been around for a while I am sure you're been around for a while I am sure you're been around for a while I am sure you're familiar with. I've often called myself familiar with. I've often called myself familiar with. I've often called myself the second best TypeScript YouTuber and the second best TypeScript YouTuber and the second best TypeScript YouTuber and the reason is because of this the reason is because of this the reason is because of this individual, the number one Matt HCO. He individual, the number one Matt HCO. He individual, the number one Matt HCO. He published a set of AI skills for real published a set of AI skills for real published a set of AI skills for real engineers that I honestly kind of engineers that I honestly kind of engineers that I honestly kind of dismissed initially, but over time he dismissed initially, but over time he dismissed initially, but over time he has continued to refine them and be has continued to refine them and be has continued to refine them and be realistic with them. And what he's realistic with them. And what he's realistic with them. And what he's created is a set of small and simple created is a set of small and simple created is a set of small and simple markdown files that have racked up over markdown files that have racked up over markdown files that have racked up over 200,000 stars on GitHub, making it one 200,000 stars on GitHub, making it one 200,000 stars on GitHub, making it one of the 10 most starred projects on all of the 10 most starred projects on all of the 10 most starred projects on all of GitHub. Truly insane. All for of GitHub. Truly insane. All for of GitHub. Truly insane. All for markdown files. I've wanted to see what markdown files. I've wanted to see what markdown files. I've wanted to see what the hype was about for a while here, and the hype was about for a while here, and the hype was about for a while here, and I've seen people saying really good I've seen people saying really good I've seen people saying really good things about them, especially the grill things about them, especially the grill things about them, especially the grill me skill. And this has also been a video me skill. And this has also been a video me skill. And this has also been a video I've planned for a while to the point I've planned for a while to the point I've planned for a while to the point where my whole Twitch chat is freaking where my whole Twitch chat is freaking where my whole Twitch chat is freaking out. Thank you. I stayed up till 3:00 out. Thank you. I stayed up till 3:00 out. Thank you. I stayed up till 3:00 a.m. for this. Long overdue. Finally, a.m. for this. Long overdue. Finally, a.m. for this. Long overdue. Finally, three streams ago. Since this was put in three streams ago. Since this was put in three streams ago. Since this was put in Notion, Matt's updated the skills Notion, Matt's updated the skills Notion, Matt's updated the skills multiple times. Yeah, you guys have multiple times. Yeah, you guys have multiple times. Yeah, you guys have wanted to get my honest thoughts on wanted to get my honest thoughts on wanted to get my honest thoughts on these skills for a while. In order to do these skills for a while. In order to do these skills for a while. In order to do that, I had to use them. So, I did. Over that, I had to use them. So, I did. Over that, I had to use them. So, I did. Over the last week, I installed a bunch of the last week, I installed a bunch of the last week, I installed a bunch of the skills from Matt Poco's skills repo, the skills from Matt Poco's skills repo, the skills from Matt Poco's skills repo, which is full of gems that are worth which is full of gems that are worth which is full of gems that are worth talking about, from his process to the talking about, from his process to the talking about, from his process to the actual skills themselves. If I only actual skills themselves. If I only actual skills themselves. If I only covered Matt's skills, though, I'd be covered Matt's skills, though, I'd be covered Matt's skills, though, I'd be doing this ecosystem a disservice. The doing this ecosystem a disservice. The doing this ecosystem a disservice. The vast majority of these skill repos are vast majority of these skill repos are vast majority of these skill repos are absolute slop and should be ignored. But absolute slop and should be ignored. But absolute slop and should be ignored. But there is one other I'm excited about. PA

  2. there is one other I'm excited about. PA there is one other I'm excited about. PA stack created by Lauren, otherwise known stack created by Lauren, otherwise known stack created by Lauren, otherwise known as Potato, one of my old favorite React as Potato, one of my old favorite React as Potato, one of my old favorite React core team members, who is now at Cursor, core team members, who is now at Cursor, core team members, who is now at Cursor, and built a wild set of skills that are and built a wild set of skills that are and built a wild set of skills that are really fun and surprisingly powerful. I really fun and surprisingly powerful. I really fun and surprisingly powerful. I have went through and audited the have went through and audited the have went through and audited the majority of the skills in both of these majority of the skills in both of these majority of the skills in both of these suites, pulled in my favorites, and I've suites, pulled in my favorites, and I've suites, pulled in my favorites, and I've been using them actively. I cannot wait been using them actively. I cannot wait been using them actively. I cannot wait to show you everything I've learned to show you everything I've learned to show you everything I've learned after a real quick break for today's after a real quick break for today's after a real quick break for today's sponsor. Let's be honest with ourselves. sponsor. Let's be honest with ourselves. sponsor. Let's be honest with ourselves. We've moved past the era of doing one We've moved past the era of doing one We've moved past the era of doing one thing at a time. And as great as this thing at a time. And as great as this thing at a time. And as great as this is, there's a lot of random problems is, there's a lot of random problems is, there's a lot of random problems it's caused. Things like knowing where it's caused. Things like knowing where it's caused. Things like knowing where to run your code when you're working on to run your code when you're working on to run your code when you're working on it. Things like making sure your CI is it. Things like making sure your CI is it. Things like making sure your CI is actually running performantly and well, actually running performantly and well, actually running performantly and well, and that it's doing things in parallel. and that it's doing things in parallel. and that it's doing things in parallel. And just knowing what's going on across And just knowing what's going on across And just knowing what's going on across all of the projects that are shipping at all of the projects that are shipping at all of the projects that are shipping at your company. All of this is obnoxious your company. All of this is obnoxious your company. All of this is obnoxious to do by hand, and it's becoming more to do by hand, and it's becoming more to do by hand, and it's becoming more and more of my work. Well, it was before and more of my work. Well, it was before and more of my work. Well, it was before I started using today's sponsor. You I started using today's sponsor. You I started using today's sponsor. You probably already heard me talk about probably already heard me talk about probably already heard me talk about Depot. They're the best place for your Depot. They're the best place for your Depot. They're the best place for your GitHub CI and for your Docker builds, GitHub CI and for your Docker builds, GitHub CI and for your Docker builds, which makes everything way faster, up to which makes everything way faster, up to which makes everything way faster, up to 55 times faster for a lot of real world 55 times faster for a lot of real world 55 times faster for a lot of real world use cases. Their best-in-class runners use cases. Their best-in-class runners use cases. Their best-in-class runners make everything faster, and their cache make everything faster, and their cache make everything faster, and their cache helps everyone on the team get started helps everyone on the team get started helps everyone on the team get started quicker, too. The cache is shared across quicker, too. The cache is shared across quicker, too. The cache is shared across your entire team and your CI for your your entire team and your CI for your your entire team and your CI for your Docker builds, which helps a ton with Docker builds, which helps a ton with Docker builds, which helps a ton with speed. GitHub actions are also way speed. GitHub actions are also way speed. GitHub actions are also way faster, too, up to 10 times faster when faster, too, up to 10 times faster when faster, too, up to 10 times faster when you use them on Depot than with you use them on Depot than with you use them on Depot than with traditional GitHub action CI. And if you traditional GitHub action CI. And if you traditional GitHub action CI. And if you add the depot CI runners, things go even add the depot CI runners, things go even add the depot CI runners, things go even faster because they can do actual faster because they can do actual faster because they can do actual parallelism. But that's not what I parallelism. But that's not what I parallelism. But that's not what I promised. I was talking about working in promised. I was talking about working in promised. I was talking about working in parallel, not just building in parallel.

  3. parallel, not just building in parallel. parallel, not just building in parallel. Well, that's where's remote agent Well, that's where's remote agent Well, that's where's remote agent sandboxes come in, making it trivial to sandboxes come in, making it trivial to sandboxes come in, making it trivial to spin up your real images and your real spin up your real images and your real spin up your real images and your real projects in the cloud with your cloud projects in the cloud with your cloud projects in the cloud with your cloud code. If you already have depot set up, code. If you already have depot set up, code. If you already have depot set up, you can just run depot cloud instead of you can just run depot cloud instead of you can just run depot cloud instead of cloud directly and is now running in a cloud directly and is now running in a cloud directly and is now running in a remote sandbox instead. Ship faster and remote sandbox instead. Ship faster and remote sandbox instead. Ship faster and unblock yourself at soyv.link/depo. unblock yourself at soyv.link/depo. unblock yourself at soyv.link/depo. Couple things I want to say upfront Couple things I want to say upfront Couple things I want to say upfront before we go too deep into all of these before we go too deep into all of these before we go too deep into all of these skills that have been provided by these skills that have been provided by these skills that have been provided by these different places. The first thing, and I different places. The first thing, and I different places. The first thing, and I really want to emphasize this, you do really want to emphasize this, you do really want to emphasize this, you do not get anything out of blindly copying not get anything out of blindly copying not get anything out of blindly copying other people's setups. You should treat other people's setups. You should treat other people's setups. You should treat these things not as a set of steps to these things not as a set of steps to these things not as a set of steps to take, rather as a set of information to take, rather as a set of information to take, rather as a set of information to consider as you build your own systems consider as you build your own systems consider as you build your own systems for coding with AI. If you just copy for coding with AI. If you just copy for coding with AI. If you just copy paste my codebase and change things, paste my codebase and change things, paste my codebase and change things, you're not a very good engineer. But if you're not a very good engineer. But if you're not a very good engineer. But if you use my codebase as a reference point you use my codebase as a reference point you use my codebase as a reference point to learn and build your skills as you to learn and build your skills as you to learn and build your skills as you craft your own code bases, then you're a craft your own code bases, then you're a craft your own code bases, then you're a good engineer. The same difference good engineer. The same difference good engineer. The same difference applies here. If you just blindly copy applies here. If you just blindly copy applies here. If you just blindly copy my exact setup, it's like paying a bunch my exact setup, it's like paying a bunch my exact setup, it's like paying a bunch of money for a code template. It's of money for a code template. It's of money for a code template. It's cringe and bad and it means you suck at cringe and bad and it means you suck at cringe and bad and it means you suck at engineering. Period. So, don't just engineering. Period. So, don't just engineering. Period. So, don't just blindly install all the skills here. At blindly install all the skills here. At blindly install all the skills here. At the very least, start with a slightly the very least, start with a slightly the very least, start with a slightly better entry point. I see my chat better entry point. I see my chat better entry point. I see my chat realizing that Potato was one of the realizing that Potato was one of the realizing that Potato was one of the builders of the React compiler. She's builders of the React compiler. She's builders of the React compiler. She's one of the biggest contributors there.

  4. one of the biggest contributors there. one of the biggest contributors there. She's unbelievably talented. Yeah, She's unbelievably talented. Yeah, She's unbelievably talented. Yeah, Pstack is going to be the underrated gem Pstack is going to be the underrated gem Pstack is going to be the underrated gem in this and I think you guys will like in this and I think you guys will like in this and I think you guys will like it a lot. I want to start first with how it a lot. I want to start first with how it a lot. I want to start first with how I set this all up. I started with a I set this all up. I started with a I set this all up. I started with a prompt. I want to figure out which prompt. I want to figure out which prompt. I want to figure out which potato pack skills would map well to the potato pack skills would map well to the potato pack skills would map well to the work that I do. I want you to audit my work that I do. I want you to audit my work that I do. I want you to audit my usage across my main machines which were usage across my main machines which were usage across my main machines which were this MacBook, Leftbook, and BB1. Compare this MacBook, Leftbook, and BB1. Compare this MacBook, Leftbook, and BB1. Compare my usage against the skills in Pstack. my usage against the skills in Pstack. my usage against the skills in Pstack. Make a nice list ranking all of them by Make a nice list ranking all of them by Make a nice list ranking all of them by how well they fit me and how much they how well they fit me and how much they how well they fit me and how much they could benefit me. Pull history here could benefit me. Pull history here could benefit me. Pull history here first, then break up sub agents to do first, then break up sub agents to do first, then break up sub agents to do auditing. Opus 5 for all. I had a bunch auditing. Opus 5 for all. I had a bunch auditing. Opus 5 for all. I had a bunch of Opus 5 to burn at the time, so that's of Opus 5 to burn at the time, so that's of Opus 5 to burn at the time, so that's why I was testing this. and I linked to why I was testing this. and I linked to why I was testing this. and I linked to Pstack. It then created this document Pstack. It then created this document Pstack. It then created this document for me where it pulled in all the skills for me where it pulled in all the skills for me where it pulled in all the skills and then ranked them based on how strong and then ranked them based on how strong and then ranked them based on how strong of a fit they were as well as how of a fit they were as well as how of a fit they were as well as how beneficial they would be to my work and beneficial they would be to my work and beneficial they would be to my work and then a little brief why. So, it then a little brief why. So, it then a little brief why. So, it immediately called out the interrogate immediately called out the interrogate immediately called out the interrogate skill, blast radius, technical writing skill, blast radius, technical writing skill, blast radius, technical writing arena, the prove it work skill, and a arena, the prove it work skill, and a arena, the prove it work skill, and a few others. I will say that this deep few others. I will say that this deep few others. I will say that this deep dive was inspired by one particular dive was inspired by one particular dive was inspired by one particular thing. It was the interest I had in the thing. It was the interest I had in the thing. It was the interest I had in the unslop skill because I had seen Lauren unslop skill because I had seen Lauren unslop skill because I had seen Lauren posting some of the pros that her agents posting some of the pros that her agents posting some of the pros that her agents wrote. I was like, "Oh, that looks wrote. I was like, "Oh, that looks wrote. I was like, "Oh, that looks significantly less cringe than I'm used significantly less cringe than I'm used significantly less cringe than I'm used to Claude writing." So, I quickly to Claude writing." So, I quickly to Claude writing." So, I quickly grabbed this unslop skill, which is grabbed this unslop skill, which is grabbed this unslop skill, which is very, very simple. There's also some fun very, very simple. There's also some fun very, very simple. There's also some fun prompting details here in the prompting details here in the prompting details here in the descriptions Potato uses because again, descriptions Potato uses because again, descriptions Potato uses because again, as I mentioned before in my like as I mentioned before in my like as I mentioned before in my like Markdown overhaul video, the Markdown overhaul video, the Markdown overhaul video, the description's role isn't to accurately description's role isn't to accurately description's role isn't to accurately describe everything the skill does describe everything the skill does describe everything the skill does because it's just Markdown. The

  5. because it's just Markdown. The because it's just Markdown. The only point of the description is to only point of the description is to only point of the description is to trigger the skill when it should trigger the skill when it should trigger the skill when it should trigger. You should treat the trigger. You should treat the trigger. You should treat the description as the thing that gets the description as the thing that gets the description as the thing that gets the model to do this rather than as an model to do this rather than as an model to do this rather than as an accurate description of everything the accurate description of everything the accurate description of everything the model can do with the skill. I see it model can do with the skill. I see it model can do with the skill. I see it kind of similar to a YouTube video kind of similar to a YouTube video kind of similar to a YouTube video thumbnail where the role of the thumbnail where the role of the thumbnail where the role of the thumbnail isn't to accurately thumbnail isn't to accurately thumbnail isn't to accurately encapsulate everything that the video encapsulate everything that the video encapsulate everything that the video has in it. It is to get the right person has in it. It is to get the right person has in it. It is to get the right person to stop scrolling and click it and watch to stop scrolling and click it and watch to stop scrolling and click it and watch it. The goal of the description is it. The goal of the description is it. The goal of the description is similar. It's to get the right agent for similar. It's to get the right agent for similar. It's to get the right agent for the right task to decide, "Oh, that the right task to decide, "Oh, that the right task to decide, "Oh, that skill is useful. I should pull that in." skill is useful. I should pull that in." skill is useful. I should pull that in." It shouldn't be called a description. It It shouldn't be called a description. It It shouldn't be called a description. It should be called a trigger. All of these should be called a trigger. All of these should be called a trigger. All of these standards were written in the old standards were written in the old standards were written in the old anthropic days before anyone knew what anthropic days before anyone knew what anthropic days before anyone knew what the they were doing. We're stuck the they were doing. We're stuck the they were doing. We're stuck with it. It is what it is. Anyways, with it. It is what it is. Anyways, with it. It is what it is. Anyways, let's take a look at what the skills let's take a look at what the skills let's take a look at what the skills actual content is. So, again, if you're actual content is. So, again, if you're actual content is. So, again, if you're not familiar with how skills work, they not familiar with how skills work, they not familiar with how skills work, they have a name and a description. The have a name and a description. The have a name and a description. The models have access to all of your models have access to all of your models have access to all of your skills. They just see the name in the skills. They just see the name in the skills. They just see the name in the description and then they decide, "Oh, description and then they decide, "Oh, description and then they decide, "Oh, that skill could be useful to me right that skill could be useful to me right that skill could be useful to me right now based on its description. I'm going now based on its description. I'm going now based on its description. I'm going to pull it in now." And then what it to pull it in now." And then what it to pull it in now." And then what it does is it just reads this markdown file does is it just reads this markdown file does is it just reads this markdown file into context. So when it pulls in the into context. So when it pulls in the into context. So when it pulls in the unslop skill, here's what it reads. Edit unslop skill, here's what it reads. Edit unslop skill, here's what it reads. Edit text to remove AI patterns and add a text to remove AI patterns and add a text to remove AI patterns and add a human voice. The process is simple. Scan human voice. The process is simple. Scan human voice. The process is simple. Scan for the patterns, rewrite, preserve for the patterns, rewrite, preserve for the patterns, rewrite, preserve meaning, match intended tone, add some meaning, match intended tone, add some meaning, match intended tone, add some soul, and then self audit. Quote, "What soul, and then self audit. Quote, "What soul, and then self audit. Quote, "What makes this obviously AI generated?" Then makes this obviously AI generated?" Then makes this obviously AI generated?" Then you go and fix the remaining tells.

  6. you go and fix the remaining tells. you go and fix the remaining tells. Adding soul. Removing patterns is half Adding soul. Removing patterns is half Adding soul. Removing patterns is half the job. Sterile voiceless writing is the job. Sterile voiceless writing is the job. Sterile voiceless writing is just as obvious. Have opinions. React to just as obvious.

Perfect structure looks some mess in. Perfect structure looks some mess in. Perfect structure looks machineade. Be specific. Not this is machineade. Be specific. Not this is machineade. Be specific. Not this is concerning, rather, there's something concerning, rather, there's something concerning, rather, there's something unsettling about agents churning away at unsettling about agents churning away at unsettling about agents churning away at 3:00 a.m. Don't call me out like this. 3:00 a.m. Don't call me out like this. 3:00 a.m. Don't call me out like this. Patterns to detect and fix. This is one Patterns to detect and fix. This is one Patterns to detect and fix. This is one of the things LM are really good at is of the things LM are really good at is of the things LM are really good at is if you give them an example of bad and if you give them an example of bad and if you give them an example of bad and then show them good, they will follow then show them good, they will follow then show them good, they will follow good very well. But if you don't have good very well. But if you don't have good very well. But if you don't have certain things in those examples, they certain things in those examples, they certain things in those examples, they will continue to do them bad. So you got will continue to do them bad. So you got will continue to do them bad. So you got to find the balance there. The patterns to find the balance there. The patterns to find the balance there.

And when you have good writing in your history, the models are writing in your history, the models are writing in your history, the models are more likely to follow it. And if you more likely to follow it. And if you more likely to follow it. And if you tell said models to follow it, they're tell said models to follow it, they're tell said models to follow it, they're much more likely to. There's also a much more likely to. There's also a much more likely to. There's also a whole section here to remove chatbot whole section here to remove chatbot whole section here to remove chatbot phrases like, "I hope this helps. Let me phrases like, "I hope this helps. Let me phrases like, "I hope this helps. Let me know if found the smoking gun." all know if found the smoking gun." all know if found the smoking gun." all those types of things. No mention of those types of things. No mention of those types of things. No mention of loadbearing. Sadly, there's a whole loadbearing. Sadly, there's a whole loadbearing. Sadly, there's a whole section about jargon.

Ask what the That's so much better. Ask what the That's so much better. Ask what the sentence tells the reader to do or know. sentence tells the reader to do or know. sentence tells the reader to do or know. Then write that. If you can't restate it Then write that. If you can't restate it Then write that. If you can't restate it as a concise instruction, fact, or as a concise instruction, fact, or as a concise instruction, fact, or number, cut it.

If the sentence could appear unchanged in sentence could appear unchanged in sentence could appear unchanged in another project's docs, it says nothing another project's docs, it says nothing another project's docs, it says nothing about this one. Cut it. So, let's see about this one. Cut it. So, let's see about this one. Cut it. So, let's see how this works. I will just ask with how this works. I will just ask with how this works. I will just ask with GPT56 high. You know what? We'll give it GPT56 high. You know what? We'll give it GPT56 high. You know what? We'll give it something harder. I'll use Opus 5. It's something harder. I'll use Opus 5. It's something harder. I'll use Opus 5. It's going to take too long. I'm going to going to take too long. I'm going to going to take too long. I'm going to stick with Soul for this just because it stick with Soul for this just because it stick with Soul for this just because it will be done faster. What is this will be done faster.

Hopefully, you can now unslop skill. Hopefully, you can now unslop skill. Hopefully, you can now understand why I so quickly went down understand why I so quickly went down understand why I so quickly went down this rabbit hole. It's because I was this rabbit hole. It's because I was this rabbit hole. It's because I was really impressed with that skill once I really impressed with that skill once I really impressed with that skill once I installed it. So, I then went through installed it. So, I then went through installed it. So, I then went through all the Pstack skills to see which other all the Pstack skills to see which other all the Pstack skills to see which other ones might fit me, too. And as I was ones might fit me, too. And as I was ones might fit me, too. And as I was doing this, I had the realization that doing this, I had the realization that doing this, I had the realization that I'm sure you guys could have predicted I'm sure you guys could have predicted I'm sure you guys could have predicted that I also should probably look at the that I also should probably look at the that I also should probably look at the Matt Pocco skills. So, I linked that as Matt Pocco skills. So, I linked that as Matt Pocco skills. So, I linked that as well and ended up getting another well and ended up getting another well and ended up getting another document of all of Matt's skills and document of all of Matt's skills and document of all of Matt's skills and which ones fit my use case as well. Now, which ones fit my use case as well. Now, which ones fit my use case as well.

Like these are effectively different. Like these are effectively different. Like these are effectively plugins that you call when you want them plugins that you call when you want them plugins that you call when you want them yourself. Model invoked is more steering yourself. Model invoked is more steering yourself. Model invoked is more steering the model to do different things in the model to do different things in the model to do different things in different ways. And these ones are very different ways. And these ones are very different ways. And these ones are very useful. Like I said mentioned before, useful. Like I said mentioned before, useful. Like I said mentioned before, the diagnosing bugs one has helped me a the diagnosing bugs one has helped me a the diagnosing bugs one has helped me a ton already. Wizard seems really cool ton already. Wizard seems really cool ton already. Wizard seems really cool too to walk human through steps only too to walk human through steps only too to walk human through steps only they can perform. This is super cool they can perform. This is super cool they can perform. This is super cool when like an agent can't access some when like an agent can't access some when like an agent can't access some dashboard it needs to or there's a dashboard it needs to or there's a dashboard it needs to or there's a pseudo call that it can't run. Wizard is pseudo call that it can't run. Wizard is pseudo call that it can't run. Wizard is a guide to help the agent set things up a guide to help the agent set things up a guide to help the agent set things up so that you can just run the one script so that you can just run the one script so that you can just run the one script and then handle things from there. Uh do and then handle things from there. Uh do and then handle things from there. Uh do I have this one? Because if I don't, I'm I have this one? Because if I don't, I'm I have this one? Because if I don't, I'm going to go add it now. I don't. I guess going to go add it now. I don't. I guess going to go add it now. I don't. I guess here I'll give you the spoiler of how I here I'll give you the spoiler of how I here I'll give you the spoiler of how I actually set up all of these things. I actually set up all of these things. I actually set up all of these things. I did all of this in a thread in T3 code did all of this in a thread in T3 code did all of this in a thread in T3 code in a repo that I already made called in a repo that I already made called in a repo that I already made called fleet where I manage all of my like fleet where I manage all of my like fleet where I manage all of my like skill files and things. So in here I'm skill files and things. So in here I'm skill files and things. So in here I'm going to do this specifically. I'm going going to do this specifically. I'm going going to do this specifically. I'm going to ask uh did we set up the wizard skill to ask uh did we set up the wizard skill to ask uh did we set up the wizard skill from Matt's repo? If not, set it up now.

  18. from Matt's repo? If not, set it up now. from Matt's repo? If not, set it up now. Note that we have one more machine in Note that we have one more machine in Note that we have one more machine in the fleet to deal with. Well, cuz since the fleet to deal with. Well, cuz since the fleet to deal with. Well, cuz since I last worked on this, I added my new I last worked on this, I added my new I last worked on this, I added my new Mac Mini. So, I want to just give it a Mac Mini. So, I want to just give it a Mac Mini. So, I want to just give it a quick little hint that the new Mac Mini quick little hint that the new Mac Mini quick little hint that the new Mac Mini exists so that it will touch that as exists so that it will touch that as exists so that it will touch that as well. Apparently, I should have been well. Apparently, I should have been well. Apparently, I should have been reading the docs the whole time. My bad. reading the docs the whole time.

Yeah, the getting started is the setup Yeah, the getting started is the setup Yeah, the getting started is the setup skills command which helps you like set skills command which helps you like set skills command which helps you like set up issue tracking and whatnot in a way up issue tracking and whatnot in a way up issue tracking and whatnot in a way that the skills will handle it. The main that the skills will handle it. The main that the skills will handle it. The main flow is to start with grill with docs, flow is to start with grill with docs, flow is to start with grill with docs, get interviewed about a plan and record get interviewed about a plan and record get interviewed about a plan and record the decisions. Then to spec, to turn the decisions. Then to spec, to turn the decisions.

Shaping review for reviewing it after. Shaping review for reviewing it after. Shaping is fun for turning vague ideas into real is fun for turning vague ideas into real is fun for turning vague ideas into real executable plans. Wayfinder helps you executable plans. Wayfinder helps you executable plans. Wayfinder helps you chart a large effort as a map of chart a large effort as a map of chart a large effort as a map of decisions and settle them. Prototype is decisions and settle them. Prototype is decisions and settle them. Prototype is for actually like making designs and for actually like making designs and for actually like making designs and mocking things to see what you really mocking things to see what you really mocking things to see what you really want before you ship it.

I'm going to clearly super super useful. I'm going to clearly super super useful. I'm going to play more with the codebased design and play more with the codebased design and play more with the codebased design and the like followup cleanup ones. I have the like followup cleanup ones. I have the like followup cleanup ones. I have heard wait what is really good as well heard wait what is really good as well heard wait what is really good as well as the writing for agents. The writing as the writing for agents. The writing as the writing for agents. The writing for agents one I've actually been using for agents one I've actually been using for agents one I've actually been using a bunch. Writing great skills was turned a bunch. Writing great skills was turned a bunch. Writing great skills was turned into writing for agents. This is useful into writing for agents. This is useful into writing for agents. This is useful because agents are really bad at writing because agents are really bad at writing because agents are really bad at writing instructions to other agents. If you let instructions to other agents. If you let instructions to other agents. If you let your agents write skills for you, write your agents write skills for you, write your agents write skills for you, write markdown for you, write prompts to sub markdown for you, write prompts to sub markdown for you, write prompts to sub agents for you, all those types of agents for you, all those types of agents for you, all those types of things, it can do a very bad job. So things, it can do a very bad job. So things, it can do a very bad job. So giving it better instructions on how to giving it better instructions on how to giving it better instructions on how to do it right sounds very compelling to do it right sounds very compelling to do it right sounds very compelling to me.

Summary

The main theme is evaluating and recommending highly-starred GitHub repositories for AI skills, particularly focusing on Matt Pocock's "AI Skills for Real Engineers" and Lauren's "PA Stack." The practical takeaway is that while many AI skill repositories are poor quality, these specific sets offer valuable, refined tools that engineers can actively integrate into their workflows.
