I find the whole Skills.md idea a little silly. We have a technology that struggles to stay within rails due to its inherent makeup. And you think you can fix that by just telling it to? It makes as much sense as the so-called “humanizer” t

Take a random essay and add in a bunch of the phrases that LLMs love like “load-bearing,” “crucial,” structural,” and “woven,” and then submit the original and the edited version to an LLM and ask which is better. It will choose the second
