Incremental implementation

Land changes in small, checkable steps when a task touches more than one file or feels too big for one go.

"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.
