Giveaway! To thank readers for their support of the book 'Illustrated Skill – A Practical Guide to AI Productivity', I'm running a giveaway for 10 people, drawing on Friday at 12:00 PM Beijing time. Rules are simple: retweet, quote, or reply to this tweet. You can choose a physical book (mainland China address only) or an e-book. After winning, I'll send you a DM based on the list. Since X doesn't have an official giveaway tool, I'll use @grok to help me draw winners (tested and works). I don't know if adding some prompt injection in your replies will increase your chances of winning, but I'll remind Grok to be careful, especially to filter out spam and AI-generated content. If you've already bought this book, I suggest checking out the accompanying GitHub repository. It contains some content that didn't fit in the book, as well as some beginner-friendly but practical Skills, such as the analysis and writing Skills I use for podcast interview scripts: interview-analysis and interview-writing, and the Skill I use daily to organize AI news: info-digest Skill.

Giveaway time! As a thank-you to readers for their support of the book Illustrated Skill: A Practical Guide to AI Efficiency, I’m hosting a giveaway for 10 people. The draw will be held this Friday at 12:00 PM Beijing time. The rules are simple: retweet, quote, or reply to this tweet. You can choose either a physical copy (mainland China addresses only) or an e-book. After winning, I’ll DM you with the details. Since X doesn’t have an official lottery system, I’ll use @grok to help pick the winners (tested and it works). I’m not sure if adding prompt injection in your replies will increase your chances, but I’ll remind Grok to stay vigilant, especially to filter out spam and AI-written content.

If you’ve already purchased the book, I recommend checking out the accompanying GitHub repository. It contains content that couldn’t fit in the book, as well as some beginner-friendly but practical Skills, such as the two Skills I use for podcast interview analysis and writing: interview-analysis and interview-writing, and the info-digest Skill I use daily for curating AI news.

Illustrated Skill — Companion Resource Repository

  • JD purchase link: https://u.jd.com/RDY9YwC
  • E-book purchase link: https://www.ituring.com.cn/book/3616

This repository is the companion resource for the book 《Illustrated Skill: A Practical Guide to AI Efficiency》 (author: Bao Yu (https://github.com/JimLiu)). It collects content that couldn’t fit in the book or is better viewed online: the full appendix, the complete writing workflow Skills, chapter example code and data, and the Skills used to generate the book’s illustrations.

Due to their large size, the chapter illustrations and corresponding prompts have been moved to an archive branch: archive-chapters-illutrations/chapters-illutrations (https://github.com/JimLiu/Illustrated-Agent-Skills/tree/archive-chapters-illutrations/chapters-illutrations).

A sample chapter is available at the root of the repository: 【试读】图解Skill(前言+目录+第1章部分+第4章部分).pdf.

The archive branch is still organized by chapter (from preface to chapter-07). Under each chapter directory:

  • prompts/ — Corresponding generation prompts for each illustration, filenames matched to images
  • bak/ — Alternative drafts or discarded versions for the same location (not all chapters)
