Final Lesson:“Go Build."
It consists of Markdewn documents for the AI to read and scripts to automate setup.
A "Skill" is Simply Docs + Automation
Shift from asking "How can AI imitate humans?" to "How can we make AI more efficient?".
New Philosophy: Reshape Workflows for AI, Not Humans
Don't build a separate platform; embed capabilities into the AI tools developers already use.
The Pivot: From Standalone "Agent"toIntegrated"Skill"
In the AI era, failure is acceptable: the learning gained from taking action is invaluable.

The Solution: A New Mindset & Approach
Manually copying code from the agent into the development environment was tedious and inefficient.
3.A Fragmented Process
The agent automated 80% of the work, but modifying the final 20% was extremely difficult.
2.The 80/20 Bottleneck
Users preferred their familiar tools (like Figma)over a new, unfamiliar chat interface.
1.Habit Resistance
Clash with User Workflow LeadstoFailure Despite technical success, the agent was abandoned for three key reasons.
To automatically generate compliant front-end code from Figma files or screenshots.
