I’m begging you to give this prompt to Grok Bot and let it walk you through hiring a Chief of Staff and your first 3 to 5 heads for your business.

What happens when you combine embedding models with System 1 decision models? You get the intersection, which is VENN —> Vector Decision Models, a very cool OSS research project from Mark Russinovich that I was fortunate to review early and am excited to support.

GitHub Copilot can now generate images! Our team is using this to generate app icons, explore designs for upcoming features, and (ofc) step up our meme game.

Image generation is surprisingly really good and the little logo generation animation is fun

Projects have been a game-changer for me in the GitHub Copilot app! Work often doesn't cleanly map to one (or any) repo, and we found ourselves needing a better way to mass-orchestrate tasks in the app that didn't overload my attention span or require extreme context switching. How can we make them even better?

I'm fully blocked from using Projects without Custom Agents, both for the orchestrator and worker sessions. We have a *lot* that runs off of the selected agent. I'd migrate today if that was a thing. Also, add repos/folders to the project settings so I don't have to ask it

When our team first moved to multiplayer sessions, where everyone can read each others prompts, I was initially very hesitant I say a LOT of dumb things to my agent That is still true, but I've learned two things since gaining full visibility into all the sessions of my teammates: 1. Everybody else says dumb things too 2. There is a ton to learn from how other people on the team drive their agents For example, I wanted to learn how our UI/UX guy, @vhbrzezowski , prototypes with agents - so I just asked! My agent read all of his sessions and helped me understand Vyctor's workflow using our `show_widget` tool to iterate on mockups built from our actual frontend code Once you get over the fear of sharing your prompts with others it tears down so many useless knowledge silos across your whole company.

Something has quietly replaced the system prompt as the highest-leverage optimization target for coding agents. What's surprising is that I haven't seen anyone even name it yet.

I worked with a group of engineers to create github/lever - a library of skills for automating boring work so that us humans can focus on the things we love. We pooled our session history, mined it for the patterns that produce the best results, and turned them into low barrier skills.

We sold out in-person tickets this year, but hoping you can still show me what you got. I’ve got a few extra customizable GitHub keyboards that we’ll ship to three people who can build a wild custom canvas that makes their workday better in the GitHub Copilot app. May the odds be ever in your favor. 😄

I got distracted by learning Projects! Definitely gonna be adding to this. Lots of fun! Blazor .NET 11 in a Copilot canvas with Babylon.js (new to me)! Browser extension saves pages with MarkItDown Single-file C# tool lets Copilot search them with BM25 github.com/paul-shell/monas-…
