๐งญ 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:
๐ Highlights
๐ Write skill descriptions with narrow trigger conditions, not broad ones
๐ Use progressive disclosure instead of front-loading full context
๐ฏ Overly specific guidance can now hurt results more than help
๐ Tie AGENTS.md references to specific needs, not blanket must-reads
โ๏ธ Old restrictions written for prior models can over-constrain Astra
๐ 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.
