Get Your Complete Financial OS at https://startup-ideas-pod.link/brex_SIP I talk with Remy, known online as AI with Remy, about agent skills and how to share them across a whole team. Remy explains that a skill is an SOP for AI: a markdown file that teaches Claude your exact way to do a task. He then shows his system. He keeps his team skills in one GitHub repository, and he installs that repository as a plugin in Claude Code and Codex. The result is one source of truth, automatic updates for everyone, version control, and company ownership of the work. Listen to this episode if you run daily tasks with agents and you want your whole team to get the same quality of output.

Most skills sit on one laptop, so a great process stays with one person. A GitHub repo plus a plugin gives the team one source of truth for every skill. Auto-update sends each skill edit to every teammate in Claude Code and Codex. A company-owned repo keeps the skills when a teammate moves on. Remy builds thin agents and thick skills, so any harness can run the same process. LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
