Easily build your own Skills
Teach Primer your way of doing something once, then use it in any session. Same depth, same quality, every time.
A Skill is a method you teach Primer. How you build an earnings preview, say, or how you screen for accounting red flags. Write it down once, or turn a note you already have into a Skill in one click, and Primer will follow it exactly whenever you ask.
You could get close to this before with memory: write your method into a note, pin it, and hope Primer picked it up at the right moment. Often it did. Sometimes it went digging through your old sessions to piece the method back together. Skills make it deliberate. The method has a name, you attach it exactly where you want it, and Primer follows it every time.
To use one, type @ in any message and pick it. The Skill lands in your sentence, and the words around it are the instruction: "Use Accounting Red Flags Screen for Micron Technology." Primer reads the whole method before it starts, and the finished answer says which Skill it followed.
Your Skills live on the new Customize page, next to My Philosophy and My Instructions, so everything Primer knows about how you work sits in one place. There is a starter set already there, covering thesis review, earnings review, forensic accounting and initiation writing, and anything you build joins them.
What changed
Skills replace memory as the home for your methods. Each Skill is one reusable memory of how you do something, attached to any message with @. Any note can become a Skill, and the new Customize page is where you build and manage them.
Why it matters
Your best method stops living in your head. Teach Primer how you work once, and every analysis after that starts from your best version of it, as sharp on the tenth run as the first.
