I build my own tools with AI. I am not a developer; I came from finance and real estate. Everything here is something I actually use, shared because I talked about it on one of two YouTube channels.
Homebrew Club — with Jim. Two builders showing what they shipped this week and tearing it apart as peers. Screen shares, real costs, real mistakes. For people already building.
Shipped or Shiny — solo. The same ideas at beginner altitude, for the mid/late career non-technical professionals starting from zero.
Same person, two different rooms. If you are already building, start with the Club.
| Repo | What |
|---|---|
| shipped-or-shiny-prompts | Prompts handed out on Shipped or Shiny |
| homebrew-club | Files handed out on the Club |
Anything bigger than a prompt gets its own repo, pinned above, and linked directly from the pinned comment of whichever episode covers it. Some of those go out on both channels, which is why they are named for what they do rather than for a channel.
Jim shares his Club files separately: github.com/jbreese1. Each episode's pinned comment links both, because we each keep our own work.
Two homes, and which one a thing gets is decided by size, not by topic.
Small (a prompt, a snippet, a one-page recipe) goes in the repo of the channel where I talked about it first. If it later goes out on the other channel too, that comment links to the same file. It is never copied.
Substantial (a skill, a guided sequence, anything with steps and its own README) gets its own repo, named for what it does rather than which channel sent you.
Nothing is ever copied between repos. Two copies of a file means one of them is quietly out of date, and the person who downloaded the wrong one has no way to know.
Every repo tags each episode, so ep01 is exactly what shipped that week even after
the files improve on main.
Prompts are CC0. Code and skills are MIT. Everything is free, no signup. If something is broken or you made it better, open an issue or a PR.
