The lessons
- The map of extensions: when each one is useful
- Your first skill
- Connectors: what access you give
- Hooks and scheduled tasks: automating without trapping yourself
- Subagents: delegating a search
- Plugins and provenance: checking before installing
- Uninstalling and rolling back
Benefit
Add the right tool at the right time, and know how to remove it. Installing an extension is never a goal in itself.
By the end, you will be able to
- tell apart instructions, skills, plugins, connectors, hooks, subagents, scheduled tasks and APIs, with an example for each;
- start from a real need to choose the simplest option;
- check the provenance, the permissions and the cost of an extension before installing it;
- install, test and then uninstall a simple extension;
- create a personal skill from a request you repeat.
Demonstration
A repeated request turned into a skill, then an extension installed, tested and uninstalled, checking each time what it can do.
Exercise and result
A useful personal skill, and a decision sheet (install or not, and why) for a real extension.
Links and options
The personal path can start module 8 after lessons 1 and 2; it will also need lessons 3, 4 and 7, which module 8 refers to (connectors, scheduled tasks, removal and the “My extensions” list).
