Garry Tan (CEO of Y-Combinator): "when someone asks how I 'prompt' my AI, the answer is: I don't. the skills are the prompts."
[if I had this weekend to master skills and how to use them to automate workflows:]
→ read the Skillify 11-item checklist (SKILL.md in gbrain)
→ watch Murag Barry Zhang: "Don't Build Agents. Build Skills Instead."
→ Read "Designing, Refining, and Maintaining Agent Skills at Perplexity"
→ do one workflow. type /skillify. watch it become permanent. that's the whole day.
here is how to set it up:
1. clone GBrain (his open-source second brain, Postgres-backed memory 30 skills)
2. add GStack (23 battle-tested slash-command skills, drops right in)
3. do anything once → type /skillify → it's a skill forever
prompting is dead. skillifying is next.
