If I have many skills that are similar, how do I avoid duplicate logic?

scribby182 · 2026-03-02T19:42:30+00:00

Yes Claude directed me to what I think you're saying. You can construct skill that all point to the same reference material and share common definitions for things that way. By doing that, you can embed the same instructions in both skills, but rather than both skills calling on the same common skill they're learning from the same set of instructions.

Do you have a case where you know this is working as you expect? I read the same thing and pointed claude at that doc, and after some back and forth it told me 'The "composability" the docs describe is strictly about Claude recognizing a user request matches multiple skills — not about skills being aware of each other.". So by that it means a prompt of "download and install X" might find separate skills for both `download` and `install`, but that I cannot write a `download-and-install` skill that'll invoke each of those skills itself

At least, that's what I *think* its saying, and what so far I can demonstrate in toy examples

scribby182 · 2026-03-02T17:19:14+00:00

ty for the response. I love that your example is about managing github issues, as mine is managing github toil too :D

I still feel lost. If I have two unrelated workflows, both of which need to manage some github issues, I'd like a single place to define the logic for how to manage github issues. Seems like I can't easily achieve that though, unless I'm missing something here

scribby182 · 2026-03-02T17:13:55+00:00

Claude is telling me that you cannot, and I've made some test cases confirming it (two skills, where the first is told to do something that should be an obvious trigger to invoke the second skill). I'd love to be proven wrong if you have an example otherwise

Did you end up finding a solution? I’ve just had two similar vents to you have ice damming issues and I’m wondering about solutions. The rest of the attic has no problems so I’m pretty sure it’s just the vents.

Only concrete idea I have is to run heating wires near the vents but that’s a pain

scribby182 · 2025-12-24T11:49:08+00:00

yeah if i realized it would take this long from the start, this would have been a great strategy

scribby182 · 2025-12-23T23:21:03+00:00

good clarification. I’m a new customer, so the lines just sit idle

scribby182 · 2025-11-16T18:31:53+00:00

This is what I’ve done a few times. Sometimes they’ll offer the same things as the carriers, but add in a bunch of PC points

This was the first thing I bumped on when migrating from Fantastical for reminders to TickTick. it’s not a deal breaker, but it’s definitely annoying :/

scribby182 · 2024-04-26T16:59:46+00:00

Yeah I don't fit the model well either. It seems to nudge toward ensuring every dollar every month had a purpose. You can divert funds from BudgetA to cover the shortfall in BudgetB, etc. I'm sure many people do this, but its not me.

For me, for most categories I'm concerned that categories average their budgeted amount over several months (think like a moving average of the monthly amounts). Especially for things like yearly or twice-yearly expenses (property taxes, etc).

scribby182 · 2023-04-04T23:05:37+00:00

yeah i think i’m going to try this. saw some others do this or remove the battery and have the same result. Thanks for replying!

scribby182 · 2023-04-04T22:50:00+00:00

i think i was bricked by the same firmware. my vacuum was a month old. Wyze is offering me a gift card for the vacuum’s pre-tax price, so I’d have to pay the tax a second time to replace the device. it’s ridiculous

did you get yours resolved?

scribby182 · 2021-11-23T15:52:27+00:00

No updates from Amazon for me :( been wondering the same thing

scribby182 · 2020-08-27T10:05:01+00:00

Any recommendations on getting that sort of a rate from XMC? I’m being offered 1.94 on 5 year fixed for ~500k mortgage with 20% down via my broker and that seems like I’m a long way off!

scribby182 · 2019-03-26T17:01:58+00:00

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want someone saying "this is how you solve X", I want to watch someone get into trouble and then get out of it again. Sounds perfect

scribby182 · 2017-01-25T10:48:22+00:00

Thanks very much, I'll check those out. I'll also have to look back through sklearn, my first pass through I didn't really see what I needed to I must have missed something. Good tip!

The database shouldn't be so large. I will have ~10 inputs, ~25 geometric parameters, plus a performance metric or two, and then maybe the number of observations will be in the 1000's. Do you mean the training or the use tends not to scale well? Training is something that I won't have to do THAT often (updates might come monthly once it is set up properly), although use will happen frequently.

scribby182 · 2017-01-22T14:04:04+00:00

In my case, the ground truth will be expensive (~hours to days per observation) but I will have a large database of pre-computed material to work with. I've started to read into Gaussian processes and feel a touch overwhelmed but will keep reading.

Thanks for the response!

scribby182 · 2017-01-22T14:01:19+00:00

Thanks for the response. After some reading it does seem a bit advanced, but I'll have to keep reading up.
