Skills (15)

  • karpathy-agentic-engineering

    Apply Karpathy-style agentic engineering to any coding or building task. Use this skill when the user wants to set up an agent-driven workflow, needs to write a CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, wants to orchestrate agents with clear success criteria, or says things like "agent loop", "let the agent handle it

  • karpathy-autoresearch

    Set up an autonomous research loop where an agent iterates on experiments, hypotheses, and code on git branches. Use this skill when the user wants to automate ML experiments, set up a research agent that self-improves, needs to run many variations of an experiment without manual intervention, or sa

  • karpathy-education-first

    Apply the education-first mindset — make everything you build teachable, create nano-project explanations, write for beginners. Use this skill when the user wants to explain a project to beginners, create a tutorial from code, write documentation that teaches (not just documents), make a concept acc

  • karpathy-idea-files

    Create and share ideas as abstract Gist-style specs instead of code — letting agents or others implement. Use this skill when the user wants to capture a new idea quickly, needs to write a project spec for an agent to implement, wants to share a concept without building it first, or says "write up t

  • karpathy-llm-simulator

    Use LLM as a simulator of expert debates and opposing viewpoints instead of getting a single sycophantic answer. Use this skill when the user needs to make an important decision, wants to stress-test an idea, needs devil''s advocate analysis, wants to avoid confirmation bias, or says "argue against

  • karpathy-llm-wiki

    Build and maintain an LLM-powered personal knowledge base or wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to organize research notes, build a second brain, set up an Obsidian vault with LLM compilation, ingest papers or articles automatically, or mentions "personal knowledge base", "LLM wiki", "second b

  • karpathy-meta-reflection

    Run a structured reflection on how AI is reshaping your skills, career, and leverage. Use this skill for monthly career audits, skill atrophy reviews, understanding what''s worth learning vs delegating to AI, or when the user says "career audit", "skills review", "what should I learn", "am I becomin

  • karpathy-methodology

    Apply Andrej Karpathy AI methodology and principles from his 2023-2026 insights. Use this skill when the user wants to apply Karpathy-style thinking, needs guidance on agentic engineering, LLM knowledge bases, minimalist coding, understanding-first principles, or any of the 14 core methodologies dis

  • karpathy-minimalism

    Apply Karpathy-style minimalism and anti-dependency principles to code and system design. Use this skill when the user wants to reduce dependencies, avoid supply chain risks, rewrite something in pure Python or minimal code, audit a project for bloat, design agent-native CLI tools, or says "too many

  • karpathy-output-evolution

    Upgrade LLM outputs from plain text to structured, rendered formats like HTML, Marp slides, or interactive dashboards. Use this skill when the user wants better-formatted output, needs to convert notes into a presentation, wants HTML output from an LLM, needs slides from a document, or says "make th

  • karpathy-practice-environments

    Build practice environments and evaluation gyms where agents can try, fail, and learn from feedback. Use this skill when the user wants to set up automated evaluation for an agent, needs a sandbox for testing LLM capabilities, wants to build a practice gym for skills, needs an RL-style environment f

  • karpathy-supply-chain-hygiene

    Apply rigorous supply chain security hygiene to software projects — audit dependencies, detect risks, minimize attack surface. Use this skill when the user wants to audit project dependencies, is concerned about supply chain attacks, wants to set up secure dependency management, needs to review a re

  • karpathy-system-prompt-learning

    Write explicit strategy into system prompts as a learning mechanism — making LLM behavior more predictable and teachable through prompt-as-textbook approach. Use this skill when the user wants to improve an agent or LLM''s performance on a specific task through system prompts, needs to encode a stra

  • karpathy-understanding-first

    Apply the Karpathy understanding-first principle — verify what AI built, own your understanding, map the jagged capability landscape of LLMs. Use this skill when the user has used AI to build something and needs to verify it, wants to audit their own understanding, needs to know where LLMs are relia

  • karpathy-vibe-to-agentic

    Transition from vibe coding (fast prototyping) to agentic engineering (rigorous iteration). Use this skill when the user has a rough prototype and wants to level it up, needs to go from "it kind of works" to production-quality, wants to understand the difference between vibe coding and agentic codin
