I think the most interesting skill here is the control-browser one: https://codex-tool-reference.simonw.chatgpt.site/skills/cont... It tells ChatGPT Work how to launch a Playwright instance via its Node.js REPL, and tells it to run: nodeRepl.write(await browser.documentation()); To get further instructions. That method returns this text with full details about how to use the browser: https://codex-tool-reference.simo…

It's runtime dependent on the browser being used! A skill file wouldn't be able to have this dynamically injected for the browser that's about to be used.

Skill file could indicate general instructions for all browsers. This provides guidance for the browser that's about to actually be used.

Meta comment: I've been wondering why AI-generated websites/artifacts/reports always have the same "look". It reminds me of Bootstrap (CSS Framework) days when every startup website looked the same. Are they following some sort of common guideline?

In this case they really are, and you can read the guidelines that helped create the site on the site itself in the skills: https://codex-tool-reference.simonw.chatgpt.site/skills/site... Scroll down to the "Establish the visual direction" section.

This can be replaced, you just have to do the work of building a design library yourself and the guidance components. Then building skills around their use.

How is this comment "spam"? Spell it out for me. (I think you may be confusing "spam" with "prolific". I write a lot.)

I think folks are a little too aggressive here but I know I typically have your posts muted by default for me simply because too often it was just blog spam about something you wrote before. I suspect the greater HN in net likes your work but there is a pretty wide spectrum and I would say you definitely blur the limits between spam and “prolific” .

You don't like seeing the top post of every model thread being a link to some SVG pelican that he generated?

Seriously, what's your definition of spam? Or an easier question: how am I gaslighting here? You should be able to spell that out. (You do understand that the top linked site here was built by me, but has no authorship information on it at all, right? That's why I posted a comment explaining what it is.)

.. I know its tempting to try to reply to all these people but I'd just ignore them. A lot of them feel stressed by AI and it has nothing to do with you personally.

"Am I so out of touch?"

"No, it's the children who are wrong".

Because most AI generated websites are from people who don't know much and as such cannot even articulate the look they want
