    1. I built a free skill that takes you from "I have an app idea" to a real plan and solid MVP
    2. I got tired of copy-pasting prompts and losing track of versions, so I spent the last few months building a local, open-source Prompt IDE. No cloud, 100% free.

    1. Two rather important prompts that won't easily be recognised by regular chatGPT because they describe things we, humans, always had, but never used to talk about, and so are not in LLM training data, despite being obvious.
    2. The most effective prompt constraint I've found for ideation: Cross-Disciplinary Mapping
    3. Summaries are dead. The attention economy rewards cognitive conflict. Use this prompt pattern to extract it.
