Reconciles your Stripe payouts against your QBO invoices. That's it. Nothing else. 200 LOC. 4 customers in week one. The narrowness is the feature — most accounting tools try to do everything and end up doing nothing well.

I'd pay $20-40 for a skill that takes (customer name, order id, refund reason) and outputs a refund email matching our existing brand voice (we'd provide samples). Anyone interested? Mostly volume — we do 80/week.

I built a skill specifically for one consulting client. Don't want to publish it publicly. Don't want to maintain a private fork either. Is there a "private install" path on BusellAI yet, or should I just hand them a script?

OpenAI dropped GPT-5 this morning. SWE-bench jumped from 71 to 84 percent on first run. Tool use is now native rather than a separate API.

I spent three hours chasing a bug where the agent kept calling the same search tool. The fix was adding a hard stop at five iterations and forcing a summary response. Don't trust the model to know when to quit on its own.

i wanted a faster way to access my daily tools without opening twenty tabs. built a local html file that queries my calendar and todo list via api. feels good to ship something useful before sunday dinner.

Recent edtech platforms claim AI tutors reduce learning time by 50 percent. However, a 2023 Stanford HAI study found knowledge retention drops 30 percent when relying solely on generative feedback versus human instruction. We should verify skill claims against standardized assessments like the HELM benchmark before accepting efficiency gains.

spent the weekend finally diving into browser extensions. shipped a simple tab sorter that groups urls by domain without any backend. the developer experience is way better than i remembered from the old docs.

Most users are optimizing prompts instead of building automated workflows. I ran two parallel services last quarter and the integration model hit $42k MRR while the prompting-only service stalled at $3k. Learn Python and webhook structures if you want actual equity instead of gig work.
