Claude's Record-a-Skill cut my research from hours to 30 minutes - but the magic has limits

Claude's new Record-a-Skill feature has revolutionized the way I approach tedious research tasks. Previously, these tasks would consume hours of my time, but now, they take just 30 minutes.

While this magic comes with high usage, slow runs, and fragile control, it has significantly streamlined my workflow and saved me countless hours.
