Josh sold his last startup for $4M and is now building 5 products
solo with agents. He showed me his exact AI skills stack,
including a 4-step /build skill, an /adversarial-code-review
skill where he pits Opus against GPT, a /but-for-real skill that
makes the AI catch its own mistakes, and a /learnings skill that
improves AI’s output over time. Josh has been a solo builder for
25 years and it was fascinating to watch how he works.

Josh and I talked about:
