Use when David is choosing the next YouTube video idea. Helps evaluate candidates, apply David's principles, and reach a decision.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
How to make an AI coding agent run on a schedule, loop, or interval — cron jobs, heartbeats, self-starting/self-terminating loops, recurring autonomous checks. Use when the user asks to "run every N minutes/hours", "check something on a regular interval", "schedule a task", "run on a loop", "self-start", "heartbeat", "cron job for an agent", or wants an agent to fire periodically without manual launching. Covers two camps — one-shot agents you wrap in an external clock (Claude Code, Codex, Pi) vs agents with a built-in scheduler daemon (Hermes).
Use only when David explicitly says "track my behavior in this conversation" or clearly asks to log, track, or analyze his behavior in the current conversation. This skill logs each of David's messages to a local behavior database, records decisions with follow-up questions, updates local notes when useful, and surfaces patterns when asked.
Direct browser control via CDP. Use when the user wants to automate, scrape, test, or interact with web pages. Connects to the user's already-running Chrome.
MUST be read ANY time you interact with cmux in ANY way — listing/inspecting/creating/closing cmux workspaces, panes, or surfaces; reading or capturing pane/screen output; sending input or keys to a pane/surface; delegating to, polling, or checking on other agents running in cmux panes/surfaces; building or rearranging terminal layout; cmux browser automation; sending notifications/flashes/status/progress to the sidebar; editing cmux settings; or integrating an agent with cmux hooks. If your command starts with `cmux ` or touches a cmux workspace/pane/surface/agent, read this FIRST. Triggers on "cmux", "in this workspace", "this pane", "the other agent", "delegate to", "check on the agent", "send to the pane". macOS only (14.0+).
Explain and write effective instructions for OpenAI Codex's `/goal` feature — the persistent self-checking agent loop (plan → act → test → review → iterate). Use when the user mentions Codex `/goal`, "goal loop", wants to kick off a long-running autonomous Codex run, asks how to write a goal prompt, or wants a one-paragraph goal instruction drafted.
Use when David is preparing for or running a consulting call (lawyer, accountant, tax advisor, etc.) and wants to manage a question list — adding, marking as asked, moving between Main/Potential, or tracking answers. Triggers on consulting call, advisor call, prep questions, mark as asked, add question to call.

Something unique, new, exciting. Something others are scared of, wouldn't do, can't do because it's too technical, or don't have the experience for. Not every video will be fully original — the AI space has topics everyone covers — but there must be a unique twist or new angle on whatever is being covered.
Balance both. AI is trend-driven, so timeliness matters. But prioritize tools and topics that will likely be around for at least 6 months. More evergreen = better.
Two stages:
50K views from innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, and developers > 200K views from AI beginners. Not even close. Optimize for audience quality, not mass market reach.
