Do You Separate Your Skill Types?
As your Skills pile up, split them by nature — single-task "work Skills" and flow-orchestrating "orchestration Skills" — to keep improvement loops and context light.

As your Skills pile up, split them by nature — single-task "work Skills" and flow-orchestrating "orchestration Skills" — to keep improvement loops and context light.
Read more"Open" does not always mean free for commercial use. A model's weights carry a license layer separate from the code — sort them into three buckets (Apache/MIT, conditional community like Llama/Gemma, restricted/non-commercial). A commercial-use cheat sheet for LLM, image, and audio models, plus a use-case checklist and the version/EU/MAU traps.
Read moreNot sure where to run Claude? Approval-only, full control, autonomous batch, or team rollout each fit a different place. We map nine options onto four zones and narrow to one by use case, budget, and data residency — with the US/EU compliance forces (HIPAA, FedRAMP, sovereign cloud) that drive the choice abroad.
Read moreAI service safety splits into three tiers: enforced by settings, per-use discipline, and enterprise contracts. Training opt-outs and retention, the three mechanical layers for CLI and autonomous agents, a pre-input five-question checklist, and contract-only guarantees (ZDR, audit logs) — with the US/EU drivers (FTC, state laws, GDPR, AI Act).
Read moreWhere to run code safely: a five-layer trade-off map (VMs, microVMs, containers, OS sandboxes, WebAssembly), how to try untrusted code safely, an eight-item AI-agent sandbox checklist (Claude Code / Codex), and the US/EU drivers (NIST SP 800-190, FedRAMP, EU CRA) — for indie developers and practitioners.
Read moreApply a Skill's top-of-file summary structure to the context files you feed AI — a two-layer shape that keeps context consumption down.
Read moreFor work that needs stable output, narrow AI's role and bracket it with deterministic code — making peace with probabilistic wobble.
