Kate's take, in a sentence or two

Kate says everything is relative—while it felt slow to her (she'd been sitting on this for months after using Claude's skills), once she actually decided to do it, it came together fast and was fun. She explains that building a skill can take her anywhere from thirty seconds to thirty minutes, often just by copy-pasting old ChatGPT custom instructions and having Claude convert them, with tweaks happening more organically as she actually uses them. She adds that this is a good reminder not to feel behind, since something that felt slow to her actually looked fast from the outside.
