great video on setting up skills and agents.md need to take some notes on it.

Many Small Skills #

Something I noticed here was that theo has many small skills. Prime example he talked about his pr skill, he split out file-pr and babysit-pr into separate skills.

html">HTML #

I like how he set up his html reporting skill so that he can one line HTML at the end and get the agent to start responding in html.

Working on md.waylonwalker.com performance, and I think we are seeing really good reponses. Things are moving much quicker with less noticable lag spikes than before, they are not completely gone, but we are really getting there. 󱨛.

  • Moved Markdown parsing to a Web Worker.
  • Delayed preview updates until the editor is idle.

  • Typing now stays responsive while the preview updates.

  • Preview render P95: 671 ms
  • Preview render maximum: 769 ms

rendering in the latest version is quite slow, it really waits until I am done before it renders a preview. I think we are going to have to change this.
