Claude AI recently created something called “skills,” which allow you to bundle documentation and instructions to make it easier for Claude to work on certain tasks. Using Claude, I made a skill for writing javascript actions in Drafts.
This has completely transformed how I use Drafts! Before I would have to go on forums to ask how to do something, so I rarely used complex actions - other than those other people had already written. Now, whenever I think of an idea, I have Claude write me a script and while sometimes there are errors, it usually fixes them pretty quickly.
I’ve never been able to code, nothing more than a script kitty - minor edits to scrtipts… copy and paste. But I’ve always understood the power of Draft Actions and I’ve long desired for many custom ones.
Finally, with Cursor over the last three months, I have written a couple dozen actions. A completely new Draft syntax, based on Markdown, but in a much more readable style that flows to plain text files seamlessly to ensure longevity. I’ve also written my own light and dark themes to account for this syntax.
I’ve been planning to share this, but was waiting for my syntax to be stable and bug free - almost there.
I’ll share in the coming weeks a more detailed look at what I’ve been up to…
I’ve not yet explored Claude Skills - on my todo list - so thank you for the nudge @luhmann
