Using Personas for Writing & Communication
Earlier this spring, I taught an 8-week course on practical skills for using AI for nonprofits and churches. One major theme that got a lot of traction and I'm still getting questions about was how I use personas whenever I write. Personas describe who I am, how I communicate, phrases, what to say/not to say, tone of voice, etc., for each domain of work I engage in. So I have personas for my day job, my brands I'm working on, and even one for communicating to my wife. I typically create a project for each domain of work, upload the persona to that project, and in the project instructions, tell Claude to use that persona whenever writing in that project. I've uploaded a couple of those personas here in the chat, if that's helpful to you.

I actually just have one for each of the domains I work in. Honestly, they don't change much. I find that until I need to look at them (talking to a class, in a presentation, etc.) I don't find a need to do so.
🚀New Video: How I Make Opus Think Like Fable (5 easy steps)
Fable 5 is going back behind subscriptions at some point, so I've been focused on keeping its process instead of its intelligence. In this video I walk through how to extract the way Fable works into a skill that makes Opus 4.8 feel elevated, how to actually use effort levels, and how to set up a simple model routing table so cheaper models handle the work they're capable of.

I grabbed the skill, but I'm really wondering if the magic we get from Fable can additionally be resulted by generating great specs/PRD's. I've run through a few builds on Fable generating some pretty large projects (talking 6-8 phases). I'll be honest though, my results have been really impressive but I'm inclined to think that the results may be heavily weighted because I built a prototype in Claude Design, handed it off to Claude Code in plan mode, planned through the project specs for an hour (with Opus), and then started the build in phases with Fable. My specs were pretty large, but each phase returned exactly what I was expecting, albeit I could tell where Fable reasoned through edge case errors while testing. My primary goal was to build a few well-spec'd apps in Fable and (once the free week was over) re-run the builds with Opus. I'll know for sure, but I'm hopeful to get the same results. (I'll test with and without the skill, too.)
Need some Advice.
I'd love some honest career advice from people who've been through this. Over the past few months, I've realized that I genuinely enjoy software engineering much more than AI. I originally leaned heavily into AI because it seemed like the direction everyone was moving toward. But trying to keep up with the constant pace of new models, tools, and frameworks started to feel exhausting. Instead of being excited, I often felt like I was always behind. When I sit down and write code, though, it's completely different. I genuinely enjoy building things, solving problems, and improving my programming skills. It doesn't feel forced, it feels natural. So now I'm considering making software engineering my primary focus instead of trying to build an identity around AI. For those who have experience in the industry: - Is it a mistake to pivot away from AI right now? - Would you reposition your LinkedIn and personal brand around software engineering? - Can someone still have a great career focusing primarily on software engineering while using AI as just another tool? I'd really appreciate your perspectives because I'm trying to build a career around what I actually enjoy rather than what's currently trending.

I think you're living in a world where you'll be best positioned to "know" software engineering but also effectively use AI to increase your efficiency and quality. I've been developing software for the past 20 years and I've seen us go, particularly in the last 8 or so years, from living life in Stack Overflow as truth, to being on alert because Github was scanning your repos to build AI, to now advising the devs on my time to continue to grow by still building, engaging in standups, and reviewing code, but also knowing how to effectively use AI (yes, with guardrails). I push my team to embrace AI; know how to prompt, automate, orchestrate, and manage agents; know which model to use for what work; and know when to stop/reject the output. I'd be wary of the folks that say not to use AI, they will be left behind. But also stay clear of those who say you don't need to know how to code. They won't build apps that will scale and persist, and real software teams won't hire them.

@Nkong Joshua I understand where you are coming from - I don't deny fundamentals are paramount. I'll just add from the perspective of someone who is currently a CTO and hires (and sometimes has to let go, too) developers, I don't think you can separate the two - you have to do both. If I'm hiring someone for a dev position, I need both at proficiency. As a modern day dev, you are writing & reviewing code while at the same time managing CI/CD pipelines & test suites (rife with AI), programming agents, orchestrating workflows, managing agentic automations (and more) all at the same time. If a dev cannot use AI tools and systems to assist with and enhance the work they won't be as viable for me to hire and their productivity will quickly impact the team.
Agent Skills
I noticed the agent skill section in the classroom contains a bunch of value skills for us to have access to. but I've also noticed by watching nates youtube videos that there are some new skills that he has created that are yet to be put into that lesson in the classroom. can you guys list some skills that you use that he might've missed adding to that lesson? I want to make sure im not missing out on any valuable tools. for example the /roast skill was a brilliant one that deserves to be talked about more.

One thing you can do if a skill isn't there is to copy the transcript into a new chat prompt and then ask Claude (or your GPT of choice) to build you the skill discussed in the transcript. Be sure to also ask if it understands and to ask any clarifying questions it may have. I've done this on many occasions, and it's worked pretty well.
Guidance for a Security Leader? Secure Claude Code & Agents Roadmap 🛡️
Hey everyone, I want to master Claude Code and AI Agents without drowning in all the Skool/YouTube content. I need a structured learning path, but with a specific lens. My Background: - Role: Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC) Leader (highly technical, Linux admin, CCNP-level networking). - The Catch: Because of my cyber background, I am strictly careful with AI permissions, data privacy, and API guardrails. I only want to build secure, airtight, production-ready workflows. My Request: Given my technical baseline and rigid security-first mindset, where should I start? Which specific modules, GitHub repos, or frameworks should I hit first?
Guidance for a Security Leader?  Secure Claude Code & Agents Roadmap 🛡️

Fellow security leader — this is my favorite kind of post, because you're starting in exactly the right place. Most people learn Claude Code and agents by asking "what can it do?" and bolt security on later. You're starting from the threat model, which means you'll skip about 80% of the rework the rest of us did. I'm a CTO/CISO and I run an AI/software studio, so I've had to build this muscle for my own org and for clients living under SOC 2 / ISO 27001. Two frames have served me well: how I practice, and how I actually build. 1) ENGAGEMENT & PRACTICE — treat your learning environment as production-adjacent. • All org AI usage runs through sequestered, domain-bound tooling. For us that's been ChatGPT Teams locked to our org domain, and I'm mid-migration to Claude (Team/Enterprise) now. Personal/free accounts touching org data is a hard no. • Experiments live in a homelab or remote lab — never onsite. My own OpenClaw build runs externally on a hardened Hostinger VPS in Docker, fully off the internal network, and I require the same of everyone, IT team included. Nobody's first agent experiment gets to touch the corporate LAN. • I run hands-on AI-usage + security trainings for staff and constituents, and we just wrapped two rounds of an ethical-AI course in our LMS. Hands-on beats slideware every time. If you want one recent reason this posture is correct: the OpenClaw skills supply chain got hit hard this year — the ClawHub registry was poisoned at scale (several of the most-downloaded skills turned out to be malware), and Microsoft issued an enterprise advisory on it. That's the entire case for "experiments live in the lab, not on the network" in a single news cycle. So, practice advice: stand up an isolated lab (VPS or local VM + Docker), get a real Anthropic Team/Enterprise seat for actual work, and learn by building small agents in that sandbox before anything earns network access. 2) DEVELOPMENT & TOOLING — where I'd actually start, in order. Everything I ship has to survive a Drata-driven SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit. Commit to an security/audit framework like one of the 2 above (talk to your CISO or supe about that), and it will guide a lot. The privacy + integration work for the web & mobile apps I lead my dev team building, hardening Entra/Active Directory, Salesforce, and the surrounding infra taught me the core lesson: an agent is just a privileged non-human identity — so I treat it like one. Start with the official material, then layer the security frameworks.

I'm a CTO & CISO half my time; the other half, I provide AI and emerging tech for nonprofits and faith-based orgs. I'm at "gorevtech" on all socials.
