110 is a bit... much. Not complaining about the achievement, just pointing out that most models will be swamped with that much tooling available, so I hope they can be toggled on/off as groups (I…

This is interesting, but I’m now at a point where I can tell Claude/GPT to “take this skills and prompts repo and adapt them to this project” and it will just do it and out all the files in the r…

Hi! OP here. No, that was not it. Time Machine just quietly failed to do any backups and I failed to notice they weren't happening.
