A lot of my work runs through Claude skills I wrote for myself
A skill is a set of rules Claude follows every time. Each of mine holds something I'd otherwise repeat in every chat
The Dribbble skill turns a project into a finished case and saves it as a draft. The explainer-video skill builds a demo video in code; the one for my Nation case got 2,000 views on Contra in a week. Another one checks my texts for AI-sounding phrases before anything goes out
None of them make decisions for me. They hold my standards, so my time goes into the idea and the yes or no
Your taste is worth writing down. Once it's a rule, AI stops guessing
Which part of your work would you turn into a skill first?
Writing taste down as rules makes sense. How do you keep a skill from going stale as your standards shift, do you revise them after each project or on a schedule?

512Financial is an Austin-based firm that steps in as the finance, HR and hiring team growth-stage companies don’t have yet. Their world is board meetings, due diligence and funding rounds, which can feel heavy and intimidating for founders.
My goal with the website was to make it feel the opposite: clear, steady and human. Deep green tones, lots of breathing room, and a “Readiness by Stage” section that lets every founder find their next step in seconds, from Seed to Series B and beyond.
