Gems

1. Grill With Docs

Open terminal and paste this command:

npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills

Install grill-with-docs, grill-me and teach.

2. Use HTML

HTML is a better artifact than a doc when the output needs layout, structure, interactivity, or a polished client-facing surface.

Shoutout to Thariq Shihipar's thread. This is the direction: not just text output, but useful little surfaces.

3. Use This Build Prompt

Pablo Stanley turned the pattern into a clean template. Keep this handy for visual, interactive, or single-file builds.

Generated prompt

Build [THING] in [TECH/FRAMEWORK]. It should include [MAIN FEATURES], with [INTERACTION/ANIMATION/BEHAVIOR DETAILS]. Make it feel [MOOD/QUALITY], using [VISUAL DETAILS], [ENVIRONMENT DETAILS], and [EXTRA EFFECTS]. Output as [FORMAT/FILE TYPE].

For this task, write yourself a new goal and spawn agents in parallel - as many as needed to do it better and faster. Split the work into independent pieces, dispatch them concurrently, and synthesize the results as they return. Give each agent its own dedicated /goal.

4. Building the Hill Climbing Machine

A useful reference for better AI-generated interface and artifact prompts. Keep it in the swipe file.

5. Agent Evaluation Framework

Before calling something an agent, answer these:

  1. 01What job does each agent own?
  2. 02What channel does it live in?
  3. 03What tools/data can it access?
  4. 04What state/memory does it maintain?
  5. 05What can it do autonomously?
  6. 06What requires human approval?
  7. 07How do we evaluate if it is helping?
