UPDATE: Came up with an even better version of this prompt after the feedback
Ask Codex to look across your sessions, Memories, and Chronicle, identify patterns, reuse what already exists, and only create the smallest useful skill, subagent, or automation.
"Look back over my recent work from the last 30 days, or all available history if shorter, and identify repeated manual workflows worth packaging.
Use available evidence in this order:
- Recent Codex sessions and task summaries.
- Codex Memories and rollout summaries to find patterns repeated across sessions.
- Chronicle, if enabled, to spot repeated work outside Codex. Use Chronicle for discovery only; confirm important details in the relevant source system when possible.
- Existing skills, custom agents, and automations, so you reuse or extend what already exists instead of duplicating it.
Look broadly for work that is repeated, time-consuming, error-prone, context-heavy, or benefits from a consistent process. Include workflows across coding, research, writing, planning, communication, operations, analysis, and personal administration.
Only act on a candidate when it:
- occurred at least twice, or is clearly likely to recur and costly to repeat;
- has stable inputs, a repeatable procedure, and a clear output or stopping condition;
- would materially improve speed, quality, consistency, or reliability;
- is not already adequately covered.
Choose the smallest appropriate form:
- Skill: a reusable workflow or playbook.
- Custom subagent: a bounded specialist role or investigation task suitable for delegation.
- Automation: a scheduled or recurring check, report, reminder, or monitor.
- Skip: work that is too one-off, ambiguous, sensitive, or poorly evidenced to package.
First produce a compact shortlist with:
- repeated workflow
- supporting evidence and dates
- frequency/confidence
- recommended form: skill, subagent, automation, extend existing, or skip
- why it is or is not worth creating
Then create only the high-confidence missing items. Keep them narrow, practical, source-aware, and easy to validate. Do not create speculative, overlapping, or overly broad assets.
Finish with:
- what you created or extended
- what you deliberately skipped
- what needs more evidence before packaging"
Anthropic CEO: "It is absolutely wild that people are talking about the same tired political issues, when we are near the end of the AI exponential."
Dario Amodei spent 10 minutes explaining why almost nobody sees it.
here's what he covers:
> in 2017 he predicted exactly where AI would be today. he was right.
> models went from "smart high school student" to "PhD-level work" step by step as planned.
> the progress has not slowed down, not even close.
> none of this surprised him, what surprised him is that nobody else sees it.
the world is still focused on everything else.
new episodes, memes, celebrity beef, election news..
meanwhile the most important thing happening right now goes unnoticed.
this is not a slow shift, it never was.
the people who understand this early and actually start using these tools properly are going to be in a completely different position than everyone else, that gap is already opening.
