skills

Models get repriced, capped, and retired; their way of working can be kept. Extract the top model's discipline into skill files, routing tables, and planner-and-worker setups any model can run.

A skill file is career-long judgment packaged as instructions your agent can run. How to adopt someone's method, and why you scan it like untrusted input first.

AI Firmware is a boot layer of kernel rules, installable skills, and committed memory that makes every new agent repo start senior instead of relearning old lessons.

The prompt and the reusable skill file behind the about page on this site, with the reason each part earns its place.

Skills built on one person's machine stay there, and the copies you send around go stale the moment anyone edits one. Put the team's skills in one GitHub repository, install it as a plugin, and every edit reaches every teammate's agent.

Turn a tested task into a reusable skill, choose where it runs, and catch failed work before it wastes more time.

Compare agents on one repeatable task, check the tools each can use, and keep your skills usable when you switch.

Use failed runs to repair skill descriptions, scripts, and checks. Test each change before keeping it, with Harness Firmware as a working example.
