Episode notes
Why Skills Go Further Than GPTs And Projects
- Skills differ from GPTs because they can combine apps, coexist with GPTs, and load deeper instructions only when triggered.
- Jordan Wilson highlights progressive disclosure, where ChatGPT first reads only the skill name and description before loading the full bundle.

- OpenAI adopted Anthropic's agent skills open standard, so teams can move skill workflows across Claude and ChatGPT.
- Jordan Wilson says Claude's skills are more mature for hard workflows, but ChatGPT's creation and editing UI feels easier.
