# The Tyranny of the Prompt

> "Claude launched a way for us to get past the tyranny of the prompt, and I worked out a way to use that same technique outside Claude in ChatGPT and Gemini."

— [[entity-nate-b-jones]]

## Context

Opening framing of the video. Sets up the two-part thesis in a single sentence:

1. [[concept-claude-skills]] solve [[concept-prompt-dependency]] ("the tyranny of the prompt").
2. The same technique works in [[entity-chatgpt-d40]] and [[entity-gemini-d40]] — the seed of [[claim-skills-are-platform-agnostic]] and [[contrarian-ecosystem-lock-in]].
