They probably took our skills and reuse them. That's why skills do not matter anymore.

- tedbradley 2mo agoSkills have use. They're just prepackaged prompts with a trigger condition. I was talking more like prompts that list 50 steps to follow while using GPT-4 or Opus 4.6 to program. The way I see it, if you give too strict a sequence of steps to reach goal X, that's a double-edged sword. If your steps are actually a fantastic list of things to do to reach X, it likely won't hurt, and it might even help. HOWEVER, let's say you don't know every tiny detail about your codebase. The steps strategy might be like trying to force a square peg into a circle hole. If your steps are a really suboptimal strategy or even a failing one, that's going to derail the LLM. In most cases, unless you really know what you are doing and/or what you want, let the LLM have the power to try out strategies baked into it. It might surprise you with an algorithm or technique you don't even know about!
