Write agent skills instead of blog posts

I wrote this long post https://neonronin.sh/blog/learn-to-write-evals/ about learning to write good evals. Halfway through, I realized I wouldn't read this. Partly because it got sloppy, but also because of how I like to learn. I learned about evals by asking my bot a billion questions and feeding it a bunch of links, and then taking a FAFO approach. So for longform posts, im trying to ship a teaching skill along side or instead of the post. No idea if that's useful for others, but this feels like a good pattern for the way I like to learn.
