After 30 days and 141 Claude Code sessions, the data is clear: custom skills are what separate vibe coding from shipping real products. Here's what the numbers say.
A single document that works as an RFC for engineers and as a prompt for agents. It's not a compromise - it's the better version of both.
RFCs assume the reader knows the project. Agents know nothing. Externalizing implicit context is the difference between perfect code in the wrong architecture and code that actually fits.
RFCs are static documents. Prompts are interactive conversations. When you combine the discipline of one with the flexibility of the other, that's where the magic happens.
