Turn a vague idea into a sharp, testable one: widen the options, stress-test the assumptions, then converge on a plan.

"Add to Your Own AI" opens the app with this ready to add (the app must be installed). Or in the app: Add-ons › Skills › Add a skill › from a link.

How skills work in Your Own AI

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and, often, supporting files - the Agent Skills open standard that Claude Code, Cursor and others read too. In a project, the AI sees every installed skill's description and reads one when the work calls for it. In chat, the AI carries a short list of its chosen skills and the full text of the one that fits your question, so a few chosen skills stay cheap. You choose which AIs use it. Everything runs on your own computer.
