What shipped this week - July 10th

Over the last few weeks, we have worked with companies to implement skills and agents. This led to the Skills & Agents platform, where organizations can manage their skills, the knowledge supporting those skills, and the company knowledge behind those skills and agents. This work is still in development and not shipped, but the following went live: new skills entries, a proof-of-concept case study, updates to skillsandagents.co, and a fix for search on Uristocrat.

skillsandagents.co

skillsandagents.co is a catalog of skills and agents that make your AI tools more capable.

• CEO To Do Skill: Shipped a CEO To-Do skill and its automated companion, the CEO To-Do Daily agent. The skill turns David Allen's Getting Things Done into a single canonical list, inspired by the single-source-of-truth system Brian Halligan shared from his time at HubSpot. It is designed to be reliable with code. Every run is checked by a bundled validator before and after it writes, so a commitment is never lost or silently changed. The Daily agent runs the same loop against your Gmail and Slack on a schedule and is read-only by design. It can capture new commitments, but can never send on your behalf.
• Investor Update Skill: Shipped the Investor Update skill, which reads Slack, email, and metrics from whatever tools you have connected, drafts the update in Elad Gil's long or short format, and asks you to review before sending.
• The Ghost SEO Skill That Grew Search Traffic 14x. uristocrat.com moved off WordPress, and the migration broke search indexing. The agent logs into Google Search Console every morning, finds the pages Google is not indexing, fixes each one in place, and submits it for re-crawl. Over three months, indexed pages went from 867 to 1,520, and Google traffic increased by roughly 14x. The result came from how the agent runs: daily, conservative, and escalating only the two or three calls that are actually mine. The installable version is the Ghost SEO Agent.
• Shipped a Help page, an accordion of the questions people actually ask (what is a skill versus an agent, do I need to be technical, how do I add a skill to Claude, is my data safe, what does it cost). The FAQ copy now lives in one place, so the home page and the Help page are consistent.
• Every inner page (about, contact, hire, the skill and agent detail pages, news, terms, privacy) now uses the same header and footer as the home page, rather than a plainer version. Detail pages that used to drop the category rail now show it, sorted alphabetically. Clicking a category takes you to the catalog pre-filtered for that category. Typography across the site got lighter and a touch smaller for a calmer read.
• Clicking "Download skill file" allows a user to download without a gate, but it now also includes a subscribe field for new skill alerts and one-tap share buttons, so a skill that helped someone can travel. The homepage "Latest" strip keeps you on-site by pulling articles from the news section and linking to on-site posts, rather than bouncing readers to another domain.

uristocrat.com

Live on uristocrat.com this week:

• Site search now actually returns results. A bug was introduced into the theme that was passing an empty API key. Every query returned "no results," while the rest of the page looked fine. It now authenticates correctly, so typing a term returns matching posts.
• Search continues to work even if a user taps or clicks multiple times. The bot-paywall in front of the site was rate-limiting the search overlay's requests and intermittently returning 402 errors, causing "no results" for fast typers. Same-site search requests now skip that gate, so heavy searching keeps working. More on the x402 layer.
