They say cockroaches will outlast us all. We'd settle for outlasting your database problems. New look, same resilience: distinct parts, adapting together, make the whole stronger.

[chan @chantastic]

@Skaigie oh for sure. do that all the time.

but i don’t really see it the same way. i always pair it with a model/model class.

evals and validators on model change.

i just don’t think there are general-purpose skills (save for user-prompting ones)

[chan @chantastic]

yeah this is why skills are bullshit

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

Get more out of GPT-6 Astra by revisiting your skills, AGENTS.md, and task prompts.

Make skill triggers specific, load guidance when it's relevant, and define what done looks like.

@JoshCaughtFire yup

a competent model will ignore them; an incompetent model butcher them

terrible abstraction

strong code base and validators

[chan @chantastic]

as far as i can tell, the only durable skills are those those used to prompt a user

everything else is legacy code on model upgrade

[chan @chantastic]

@luislozanog86 i heard “agents and agents”

[chan @chantastic]

@morganlinton agent or bust

[chan @chantastic]

@MindTheGapMTG the models are either determined enough to ignore the skills or dumb enough to honor them.

in both cases, they don't do well when skills are more competent than the codebase.

[chan @chantastic]

@jim_ej only when paired with a specific model

[chan @chantastic]

the best skill is a groomed codebase

as far as i can tell, the only durable skills are those those used to prompt a user

Astra is hella good at editing video

[chan @chantastic]

Astra edited this video.
Suno made the music.
The sucky parts were probably me.

First models that weren't complete trash at this.
