Technique
- Invest 1–2 hours mapping responsibilities → skills + saved learnings.
- Routines = recurring tasks on a schedule.
- Teach continuously (“read my past Slack → style guide”).
- Silence is a feature: ping only when the attention list moved.
1–2 hour map
- List responsibilities the bot owns.
- Turn each into a skill + saved learning.
- Schedule routines for recurring work (watch, triage, weekly sync).
- Teach from real messages — highest leverage: “Read my past Slack and write a style guide.”

Mega-prompts rot. Skills + memory + routines compound.
Galaxy tip we live by: spend 1–2 hours mapping responsibilities, then save learnings.
Highest-leverage ask: “Read my past Slack and write a style guide.”
Silence is a feature — only ping when something actually moved.
