  6. Skill of the WeekJune 5, 2026

    Ship an AI Feature on Claude — the gap between a demo and production

    A Claude-powered feature is easy to demo and hard to ship. The demo works once on a happy-path input. Production brings weird inputs, costs that creep, hallucinations users see, and no way to tell when quality drifts. This bundle closes that gap.

  7. Skill of the WeekJune 4, 2026

    Build, Ship & Host — the workflow bundle for getting a product all the way live

    Getting an AI tool to build something is the easy part. Turning it into a product that's live, with sign-in, payments, and a host you won't flee in six months, is where people stall. This bundle is the sequence.

  8. Skill of the WeekJune 3, 2026

    Claude API Builder — the three things most Anthropic SDK code skips

    Most Claude API code leaves performance and money on the table for the same three reasons every time: no prompt caching, no streaming, and a model version that's already out of date. This skill writes them in from the start.

  9. Prompt of the WeekMay 31, 2026

    The file your AI reads before your code

    AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md, or .cursorrules) is the standing instruction set the AI follows on every turn. Most repos skip it entirely or paste a generic template. Seven sections in order of impact.

  10. What I'd use todayMay 27, 2026

    Leaving the builder — four new migration guides under ship-own-stack

    The most common question from people who ship something in Lovable, Replit, Emergent or Base44 is "how do I get out of this when I need to?" The ship-own-stack pillar now answers that, per builder, with verified source citations.

    May 2026 stack — understand before you build

    This month's shape — a Foundations pillar that explains how AI works under the hood, paired with role-shaped paths through the library. The bet is that operators who understand the mechanism make better choices than ones who just pattern-match.

  12. Tool DropMay 26, 2026

    OpusClip — the long-video to short-clip pipeline that stopped being a hack

    A podcast, webinar, or YouTube video goes in. Ranked vertical clips with captions and active-speaker framing come out. The category was held together with chewing gum two years ago. It isn't now.

  13. Skill of the WeekMay 26, 2026

    LLM Cost + Quality Tuner — the skill that pays for itself in the first hour

    Most production LLM features can be 30–70% cheaper without measurable quality loss. The first step is profiling where the money goes. Most teams have not done it.

  14. Prompt of the WeekMay 26, 2026

    Plan the change before the agent touches a file

    The most common AI-agent failure isn't bad code — it's editing the wrong scope. This prompt forces a file-by-file plan and an explicit out-of-scope section before any edits happen.

  16. Tool DropMay 18, 2026

    Aider — the boring AI pair programmer that just works

    No IDE, no extension, no integration hell. A terminal tool that edits files, makes proper git commits, and works with whatever model you bring.

  17. Prompt of the WeekMay 18, 2026

    Docs from working code (without the marketing words)

    Most AI-generated docs read like product brochures. This prompt forces the output to be the docs you'd actually want to read at 2am while debugging.

  18. Skill of the WeekMay 18, 2026

    A code review skill that catches what you'd rationalize away

    The Code Review Helper in the Developer pack is sharper than asking the same model that wrote the code. It looks for the bugs you'd skim past at 10pm.
