Repos in AI - Any useful ones for non-coders?
Posted on 10/12/26 at 9:59 am

I have recently learned about repos for AI. As I understand it, these give your AI certain skills. The one I found helpful is /humanizer (LINK It makes the AI slop sound much more human. Has anyone found any others that are useful outside of coding? Most of these are geared toward coders, but I'm hoping there are a few others that are helpful. TIA

The models change so fast, I only use context specific to what I am working on at that moment.
Everything is coding because that is what AI is good at.
My other theory is that AI is just “good” at things the user isn’t good at. Even opus 5.5 can’t design a circuit to save its life and you would think that would be similar to coding being straight up logic deterministic I/o.
Most models are ok at reverse engineering and helping you find things, or even giving general design ideas and things to look out for, but none can reliably conceptualize even a hand full of components working together.

i agree. its a terrible helper for washing machine repair or today, my 4 SSDs i bought for 2 dell systems.
it missed the boat so bad i wanted to punch my screen.
me: so all i need are these 4 samsung 990s?
ai: yep
me yesterday: wtf? there's only 1 slot in the 3620 and i need to buy a m.2 screw to screw down the SSD or its completely useless.
ai: yes, i'm sorry about that. buy one m2 screw for that post. the other slot is *this pic* but its a different type of connection.
also me yesterday: ok i ordered a box of m2s now how do i install the other one? the slot you told me to use when i sent you a photo doesn't remotely look like i can plug it in.
ai: oh yes i should have been more clear. thats a pci slot and you'll need to buy a SSD adapter card that you'll screw the ssd to then plug that into the pc. would you like me provide some suggestions?
OH FOR frickS SAKE.
me yesterday: you are POSITIVE i dont need anything else. the 3660? i haven't opened it yet.
ai: quite certain. the 3660 has 3 ssd slots and you'll have no problem whatsoever as it has everything you need.
***
me today: WTF there's no m2 screws in the 3660 either! you didnt tell me that.
ai: correct, dell doesn't normally include those so you'll need 2 screws.
me today: why does it say 'thermal pad goes here'? do we need something else?
ai: no, we'll keep an eye on temps and no need for a thermal pad unless they get too hot; they are designed to ramp down if the heat levels get too high.
******
me also today: BUT THE MOTHERBOARD LITERALLY SAYS THERMAL PADS SHOULD GO HERE.
ai: yes, its a good idea to install thermal pads. you should order some. lets wait to put those SSD drives in until after you have added them.
in this case i should have just gone to the Dell site and read up on how to install SSDs in 3620 and 3660.
wasted 3 days becuse i'm a moron and assumed ssd chips snapped in like RAM which i've done a few thousand times over the last 3 decades.
tl;dr AI is BRILLIANT when it comes to coding but has the attention span of a 16 year old teenage boy trying to help you work on a car when it comes to helping you out in the real world.

There's a repo out there that is like a master list of skills, gemini can find it for you. Most are code based though.

FFS, you make me laugh every time you post about stuff like this. I channel that suffering into my own prompts, "Are you sure I have enough SATA connectors at the right speed for that," etc.
