Stop Repeating Yourself: Ask ChatGPT to Create a Skill Pack for Your AI Developer

What this means

Without a skill pack, every AI coding session starts from almost zero. The AI does not remember that your app must be privacy-first, theme-aware, locale-aware, reusable, and premium-looking. So you end up correcting the same mistakes over and over — broken dark mode, clipped buttons, hardcoded text, duplicate components. A skill pack is a set of written rules your AI coding tool follows before it changes anything. Think of it like a company handbook for your AI developer. You write the standards once, and the AI checks them every time.

What to do

Step 1 — Spot your repeated corrections. Write down the same mistakes your AI keeps making. Examples: hardcoded labels, broken dark mode, clipped buttons, duplicate components, the AI saying "done" without running the build. Step 2 — Use the copy-paste prompt below to ask ChatGPT to create your skill pack. It will generate three files: • An AGENTS.md for Codex (persistent project instructions OpenAI designed for this purpose) • An engineering quality SKILL.md for Claude Code (enforces softcoded text, reusable components, safe architecture) • A mobile UI polish SKILL.md for Claude Code (enforces no clipping, no bleeding, light/dark mode, premium feel) Step 3 — Add the files to your project root and commit them. Step 4 — Start prompts with the skill name instead of repeating your rules: Weak: "Fix the UI and make it look premium." Better: "Use the mobile UI polish skill. Fix this screen without changing business logic. Run the build and report exactly what changed." You do not need to be a developer to do this. ChatGPT writes the files. You paste them in.

Try this prompt

Create an AI coding skill pack for my app project. I am a non-developer, so make it practical and strict. Create: 1. A Codex AGENTS.md file. 2. A Claude Code engineering quality SKILL.md. 3. A Claude Code mobile UI polish SKILL.md. The rules must enforce: - softcoded user-facing text, - locale/translation awareness, - theme-aware colors, - reusable components, - clean architecture, - privacy-safe code, - accessibility, - light/dark mode support, - Android Kotlin Compose best practices, - iOS SwiftUI best practices, - iOS-level smoothness, - no clipping, - no button bleeding, - no overlapping rectangles, - no broken rounded cards, - build/test verification before success reports. Also include install instructions and example prompts for using the skills.
