Google’s Prompt API

No web standard should require you to agree to an advertising company’s “terms of use.”

That seems a bit similar to what I currently do... ;-)

"To use an analogy about my process, compare the scenario to a senior tech writer (TW) working next to a junior TW, where the senior TW mostly provides observation and feedback (in this analogy, the junior TW represents the AI agent). The junior TW creates some docs and presents them to the senior TW, who leaves comments explaining what needs to change. The junior TW takes notes about all the feedback in a journal. By the end of the process, the junior TW has three pages of notes.

After the process finishes, those notes aren’t lost. They form the basis of the SKILL file. The next time the senior TW sits down with another junior TW (a different one, as the session changed), the new junior TW produces much better output thanks to the notes. With each iteration, the notes get more detailed — anticipating common errors, adding validation checks, laying a foundation so that each step doesn’t build from faulty information. After a dozen iterations, the senior TW finds they have less and less feedback to give.

Eventually, the senior TW no longer needs to sit next to the junior TW in close observation. The junior TW proceeds autonomously through each step in the SKILL and just shows the final result. One key difference from real mentorship, though: the AI agent doesn’t carry any memory between sessions. It reads the SKILL file cold each time. All the “learning” lives in the document, not in the agent. This makes the SKILL file itself the critical asset — if it’s vague or incomplete, the agent’s output regresses immediately."

Developing internal skills for recurring documentation processes like release notes

My hypothesis this year around AI was that if I develop some agent skills to speed up repeatable processes, it might clear up my bandwidth and free up time for me to work on non-repeatable doc tasks. It appears to be working.

We’re entering a buggy era where broken behavior is treated as normal.

Mixpost relies on official platform APIs, and too often we waste days debugging our side, only to learn the issue is theirs. All we can do is wait for a fix.

Computer use is 45x More Expensive Than Structured APIs

We benchmarked computer use against auto-generated API endpoints on the same admin panel. 53 steps and 551k tokens vs 8 calls and 12k tokens.

The duality of language models in the browser

I have complex feelings about Generative AI but one area I find myself weirdly bullish on is small language models (SLMs) in the browser which are available in Chrome and Edge behind an experimental flag.
