Skills are so overblown AI hype I can't even...

I can see why this could be interesting for non-tech people, but c'mon, it's just words added to your context, not something magical. I've seen massive hype over Pockock's skills and took a deep dive into them just to find out it's basically "don't make mistakes" on steroids.

I mean, input tokens are cheap, and people would be so much better with just using speech-to-text instead of all of this crap.

The goal is re-usability and (somewhat) reproducibility. Why would I want to repeat the same input tokens from scratch every time I need to redo the same process? You can store the prompt in your notes, a text file on your desktop, or ... in a skill.

Though I agree that it's often rather overhyped for what it is and flows like the one here would likely need additional fine-tuning to match the user / company needs.
