AI Video · jordangaston
Turn a seed idea into a polished AI video-generation prompt. Picks the right mode — T2V (text-to-video), I2V (image-to-video), or V2V (video-to-video) — then builds the prompt: for T2V, an 8-part structure [medium] + [shot] + [angle] + [movement] + [focus] + [subject] + [lighting] + [color]; for I2V, a shorter motion-first structure. Use whenever the user wants a prompt for generating video with any model — Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling, Pika, Luma/Dream Machine, Hailuo/MiniMax, Wan, Seedance, or unnamed — or asks to 'write a video prompt,' 'make a prompt for this clip,' 'animate this image,' 'improve my video prompt,' or gives a rough motion idea ('a samurai on a neon rooftop,' 'my logo forming from smoke') and wants it video-ready. Also trigger when the user asks why their generated video looks static, frozen, or like a moving JPEG, or how to describe camera moves.

▌
Binstack · jordangaston
Run a Binstack decision-making analysis. Binstack chooses between competing options by checking each against stack-ranked priorities using binary materiality (does this option materially move the needle -- yes or no?) rather than weighted scoring. Best for: (1) Prioritizing a backlog of features, projects, or initiatives where you need one winner, (2) Choosing between alternatives that seem 'close' on paper but differ in strategic impact, (3) Decisions where defensibility matters -- explaining 'why this and not that' to stakeholders. Not ideal for: cost/effort tradeoff analysis (use ROI), exploring a problem space (use HEAD), or decisions with a single dominant criterion that needs no framework. Trigger on: 'binstack', 'prioritize these options', 'which should we build next', 'rank these features', or when the user has multiple options and needs a clear, defensible pick.

▌
Brand Gap · jordangaston bundle
Diagnose and strengthen a brand using Marty Neumeier's Brand Gap framework — the five disciplines of brand-building (Differentiate, Collaborate, Innovate, Validate, Cultivate). Use this skill whenever someone wants to evaluate a brand's positioning, close the gap between strategy and execution, answer "who are you / what do you do / why does it matter," diagnose why a brand feels unfocused or generic, validate a name/logo/icon/identity, run a brand audit, or sharpen differentiation for a product, startup, or vertical. Trigger it even when the user doesn't name the framework — e.g. "our positioning is muddy," "how do we stand out," "is this name any good," "why doesn't our brand land," "review our brand," "we feel like a commodity." Defaults to a diagnostic; can teach any single discipline on demand and can produce a written brand audit when the task calls for a deliverable.

▌
Fermi Roi · jordangaston
Run a Fermi ROI analysis to prioritize initiatives by estimated return on investment. Uses orders-of-magnitude estimation (powers of ten) instead of false-precision scoring. Best for: (1) Ranking a backlog where cost/effort tradeoffs matter, (2) Choosing between investments with different scales of impact and effort, (3) Quick prioritization that resists estimation error. Not ideal for: choosing between options that differ on strategic fit rather than ROI (use Binstack), exploring a problem space (use HEAD), or decisions where effort is irrelevant. Trigger on: 'fermi roi', 'estimate ROI', 'prioritize by ROI', 'which is the best investment', 'rank these by return', or when the user needs to compare initiatives by impact-per-effort. Based on: https://longform.asmartbear.com/roi-rubric/

Also trigger when someone asks "how do I write cleaner code?", "is this function too long?", "should I add a comment here?", "how should I format this?", "what's wrong with this class?", or "how do I structure error handling?" This skill consolidates the core principles from Chapters 1–13 and the complete Smells & Heuristics catalog from Chapter 17 — the master diagnostic reference with 60+ coded heuristics for identifying and fixing code problems. Domain-agnostic: applies to any language or codebase.

Purple Cow · jordangaston
Apply Seth Godin's Purple Cow framework to evaluate whether a product or idea is truly remarkable — worth talking about — or just another brown cow. Use when someone is launching a product, struggling with differentiation, asking "how do I stand out," "why isn't my product getting traction," "how do I get word of mouth," or working on positioning and go-to-market. Also trigger on mentions of Purple Cow, Seth Godin, remarkability, sneezers, ideaviruses, otaku, or phrases like "our product is better but nobody cares," "we're stuck in a crowded market," "how do we break through the noise," or "how do we get people talking." Powerful for founders and marketers pressure-testing whether something will spread or die in obscurity. Works interactively or as structured output.

Tidy First · jordangaston
Apply Kent Beck's Tidy First? framework to decide when and how to improve code structure before making behavioral changes. Use this skill whenever someone asks about refactoring, code cleanup, when to clean up vs. ship, whether to make a PR for tidying, how to manage structural debt, or how to improve code readability incrementally.

Creative Diagnosis · jordangaston bundle
Diagnose a brand's ad account and turn research into a prioritized creative roadmap — two-way persona analysis (who your ads target vs. who actually buys), the one-to-two-sentence diagnosis, evidence ranking, and the icebox/quarterly/monthly roadmap system. Use whenever the user is auditing an ad account, onboarding a brand or client, asking what to test next, drowning in creative ideas and unsure what to prioritize, doing quarterly or monthly creative planning, or turning customer research into ads. Also trigger on creative strategy, creative roadmaps, creative sprints, ad account audits, persona research, marketing awareness levels, market sophistication, creative diversity, Andromeda, creative pillars, doubling down on winners, or phrases like 'we're just testing randomly week to week', 'what should we make next', 'I have too many ideas', or 'my team keeps reacting instead of planning.' Trigger even when the user never says the word 'diagnosis.'

Consistent Products · jordangaston bundle
Generate consistent AI product shots across images using the product-sheet method — a three-step prompt workflow that creates a product hero shot, locks its form, materials, finish, color, and branding into a five-view product sheet, then places it in new scenes without drift. Use this skill whenever the user wants consistent product photography, a product sheet, product turnaround, multi-angle collage, packshots, catalog imagery, or to keep the same product identical across many generated images. Also trigger on reference-image prompting for products, 'my product looks different in every image,' 'same product across shots,' generating lifestyle/hero/ecommerce imagery, or building a reusable product for a brand or ad campaign.

Inseparable Content · jordangaston
Diagnose whether a piece of content is inseparable from the product it markets — and make it more so. The core principle is that business content should be inseparable from the product, meaning the thing that makes the content good is the product working. Use this skill whenever someone says "content isn't converting," "why isn't my content driving signups," "content marketing strategy," "product-led content," "make content that sells," "our content gets views but no customers," "how do I tie content to the product," "content-market fit," or is building a faceless account, organic growth engine, or demand-gen content and wants it to actually acquire customers rather than just rack up views. Also trigger when a founder or marketer is choosing what content to make, auditing why an audience isn't converting, or deciding how to differentiate content competitors could copy. Works interactively (walk through it conversationally) or as one-pass structured output.

Market Segmentation · jordangaston
Run the Disciplined Entrepreneurship Step 1 Market Segmentation process. Use when the user wants to brainstorm potential markets/customers, narrow down market opportunities, build a segmentation matrix, or conduct primary market research for their startup idea. Trigger on phrases like "market segmentation," "who should I target," "brainstorm markets," "find my first customer," "DE step 1," or "disciplined entrepreneurship."

Storyboard Creation · jordangaston
Turn a script into a shot-by-shot storyboard: shot-type vocabulary (ECU→EWS), camera angles, movement notation, continuity rules (180-degree line, match-on-action, eyeline match, screen direction), panel layout and annotation format, and a shot-list workflow — with panels generated by Nano Banana (nano-banana-2) using locked reference sheets for consistency instead of per-generation text descriptions. Use this skill whenever the user wants to storyboard a video or ad, write a shot list, plan coverage, board a sequence, break a script into shots, or move from script to visual pre-production. Triggers: storyboard, shot list, boards, pre-production, board the ad, plan the shots, coverage plan, shot breakdown, previs. Composes with consistent-characters, consistent-scenes, and consistent-products: lock the subject, scene, and props with those skills first, then board them here — every panel is a staging call that attaches the locked sheets so characters, locations, and props do not drift between frames.

Design System Builder · jordangaston bundle
A skill for systematically building and operating design systems. It designs everything end to end — from documents (requirements, brand guidelines) through Design Tokens, a component system, and governance. It integrates the application of thinking frameworks (Double Diamond, Atomic Design, the 3-layer Design Tokens model), the codification of implicit design decisions into explicit knowledge (DDR/QOC/RFC), and UI inventory collection (manual + MCP automation). Intended for building systematically from scratch. Use when the user says: 'build a design system,' 'design a design system,' 'define design tokens,' 'establish design principles,' 'create a UI inventory,' 'design design governance,' or 'record design decisions.'

Short Form What Works · jordangaston
Evidence-based rules for what actually moves short-form video performance (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), distilled from Layers Research's 2026 TikTok Posting Report (23M videos, 13.3T views). Use this skill whenever the user asks about posting strategy mechanics — best time to post, posting frequency, how many posts per day, spacing, taking breaks, video length, slideshows vs. videos, caption length, hashtags, resolution/aspect ratio, deleting flops, shadowbans, follower counts vs. reach, or what to post after a viral hit or a flop. Also trigger when the user repeats posting folklore ("post at 6pm", "don't post twice a day", "keep it under 30 seconds", "the algorithm punishes X") so their plan can be checked against the data, or when auditing a posting schedule or content calendar.

Theory Of Constraints · jordangaston
Apply Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC) to identify and resolve the single biggest bottleneck limiting a system, process, project, or organization. Use this skill whenever someone mentions bottlenecks, constraints, throughput problems, process improvement, "what's holding us back," "why is this slow," capacity issues, or any variant of "something is blocking progress." Also trigger when someone describes a stalled project, a team that can't ship fast enough, a process that isn't scaling, repeated missed deadlines, piling WIP, or firefighting/expediting as a norm. This applies to manufacturing, software development, services, operations, and any system of value creation. Even if the user doesn't use the phrase "theory of constraints," if they're describing a system with a bottleneck they want to fix, this skill applies. Based on Eliyahu Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (The Goal, 1984) and the Five Focusing Steps / Thinking Processes.

Vertical Agent Design · jordangaston
Design principles for building accurate, domain-specific (vertical) AI agents that customers pick because they are more accurate. Use when designing or reviewing an agent's tools, system prompt, context layout, or tool architecture — deciding how many tools to expose, what belongs in the system prompt vs. loaded on demand, how to shape tool inputs/outputs, or why an agent is inaccurate or context-bloated. Core idea: structure the agent's context like a CPU memory hierarchy (L1/L2/L3). Adapted from Peter Wang's essay "Building a Good Vertical Agent."

Persona Image Curation · jordangaston
Source and curate scene images for a faceless persona account (TikTok slideshows, IG carousels) so every published image reads as a real photo the persona took herself. Covers candid-biased scraping queries, dimension forensics to reject AI/stock images, the persona plausibility test (no stray arms, foreign UIs, or strangers' names), per-deck camera-roll cohesion, targeted PII retouches, and deterministic text-overlay rendering via headless Chrome (TikTok-style caption bubbles without AI image editing). Use this skill whenever the user wants to find, select, vet, or prune background/scene images for a virtual persona or faceless content account — including 'find images for this slideshow,' 'does this image work for our character,' 'these look like stock photos,' 'build a scene library,' 'add text overlays to slides,' or auditing an existing image library for authenticity.

Screaming Architecture · jordangaston
Apply Robert C. Martin's "Screaming Architecture" principle at every scale — the whole system, and each name, function, class, schema, and API contract inside it — should scream what it DOES (its intent and use cases), not which framework or mechanism built it. Use this skill when designing or reviewing a codebase's directory/module layout, naming a variable/function/class/module, modeling a domain, designing a database schema or table, shaping an API/endpoint/event contract, deciding where code goes, or evaluating whether something is too framework-coupled or too generic to read. Also trigger when someone asks "how should I structure this project?", "where does this code go?", "what should I name this?", "does this name/schema/API reveal intent?", "is my architecture too tied to Rails/Spring/Django/Next?", "how do I keep the framework out of my business logic?", "how do I make my use cases testable without a database or web server?", or complains that the codebase, model, or API looks like a framework tutori

Create Virtual Influencer · jordangaston
Build a complete, reusable identity kit for a new faceless AI virtual influencer, modeled on a real reference creator, ready for later slideshow/content production. Produces the persona doc, voice pack, world bible, master reference + 5-view character sheet + 8-panel face sheet, hairstyle/earring/makeup look sheets, an outfit-variant library, prop sheets, and a verified-real scene-reference library — all indexed and identity-consistent. Use this skill whenever the user wants to create a new virtual influencer, faceless persona, or AI creator/character from a reference account; 'make a character like @so-and-so,' 'design a new persona for our account,' 'build the identity kit/character bible,' 'create the face sheet and outfits for a virtual influencer,' or spin up a synthetic creator before producing content. This is the CHARACTER-CREATION half; producing the actual slideshows is a separate downstream skill (virtual-influencer-slideshows).

Search Quality Evaluation · jordangaston
Evaluate the quality of a search or information-retrieval system: choose the right ranking metrics, build a relevance-judgment (qrels) set, and turn the scores into ship / no-ship decisions. Use when measuring search, retrieval, or RAG-retrieval quality; comparing retrieval variants (embeddings, rerankers, filters, chunking); choosing between Precision@K, Recall@K, MRR, MAP, and NDCG; building a golden / labeled query set; or diagnosing why offline scores and online behavior disagree. Trigger on "evaluate search quality", "which IR metric", "measure retrieval relevance", "build qrels / a golden set", "NDCG / MRR / MAP", "is my RAG retrieval good", or any review of a search-evaluation harness.

Virtual Influencer Slideshows · jordangaston
Produce a full batch of post-ready TikTok slideshow decks for an EXISTING faceless AI virtual influencer, end to end: format/topic planning, scripts in the persona's voice, exclusive per-deck verified backgrounds, AI-generated hero (hook/payoff) slides, deterministic HTML/CSS text rendering, red-team QA, and per-deck documentation with continuity-ledger updates. Use this skill whenever the user wants to generate, batch, or mass-produce slideshows/carousels for a virtual persona that already has an identity kit — 'make 30 slideshows for Dani,' 'produce the next content batch for our persona,' 'generate decks for the account,' or scaling a faceless account's posting calendar. Requires the character to already exist (persona doc, voice pack, world bible, face/outfit/prop sheets, scene library); if it does not, run the create-virtual-influencer skill first. This is the CONTENT-PRODUCTION half.
