🧭 TL;DR: if your model got smarter but your instructions stayed the same, they might now be holding it back. OpenAI shares how to rethink skills and prompts when upgrading to GPT-6 Astra.
Title: Rethinking skills and prompts for GPT-6 Astra
URL:
📌 Highlights
📝 Write skill descriptions with narrow trigger conditions, not broad ones
📂 Use progressive disclosure instead of front-loading full context
🎯 Overly specific guidance can now hurt results more than help
📄 Tie AGENTS.md references to specific needs, not blanket must-reads
⚖️ Old restrictions written for prior models can over-constrain Astra
🛑 Without explicit completion criteria, it may stop work too early
The counterintuitive but practical lesson: as the model gets smarter, your instructions should get simpler, not more elaborate.
