What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps users understand how software is evolving by framing the evolution as three paradigms: Software 1.0 (traditional code), Software 2.0 (neural network weights), and Software 3.0 (LLM prompts). It clarifies when to apply each paradigm and why prompt-based programming represents a new form of software design.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Clear explanation of the 1.0/2.0/3.0 distinctions with concrete examples.
- Paradigm-aware task mapping: when to use traditional code, neural networks, or prompts.
- Practical guidance for designing hybrid systems (e.g., orchestrating 1.0/2.0/3.0 components in a single app).
Quick Start
Ask: Explain a minimal AI assistant architecture using Software 1.0 for orchestration, Software 2.0 for perception, and Software 3.0 for prompts.
