Summary

Garry Tan advocates shifting from manual AI prompting to skill-based automation, presenting open-source tools like GBrain and GStack to capture and reuse workflows permanently.

Garry Tan (CEO of Y-Combinator): "when someone asks how I 'prompt' my AI, the answer is: I don't. the skills are the prompts." [if I had 7 days to master skills and how to use them to automate workflows:] → read the Skillify 11-item checklist (SKILL.md in gbrain) → watch Murag + Barry Zhang: "Don't Build Agents. Build Skills Instead." → Read "Designing, Refining, and Maintaining Agent Skills at Perplexity" → do one workflow. type /skillify. watch it become permanent. that's the whole day. here is how to set it up: 1. clone GBrain (his open-source second brain, Postgres-backed memory + 30 skills) 2. add GStack (23 battle-tested slash-command skills, drops right in) 3. do anything once → type /skillify → it's a skill forever prompting is dead. skillifying is next.
