figma moment that gets everyone: you want a section to stretch with its container.
select the parent and press shift+A for auto layout. then select the child and set W to Fill container. add a max width so it doesn't go wall to wall.
that's it, no variables needed
full auto layout walkthrough (hug vs fill, gaps, padding) here: tryskilly.app/learn/figma-au…
resolve: just want words on your clip?
Edit page, Effects > Toolbox > Titles, drag Text onto a track above your footage. type in Inspector > Title.
title not showing? it has to sit on a higher track, and the playhead has to be inside it.

or ask skilly out loud and it points at the control. 15-minute free trial, no card
pausing a premiere tutorial again just to find where text lives?
it's the Type tool, the T in the toolbar (shortcut T). click in the Program monitor and type.

voice is clumsy for doing things on a mac. it's pretty good for asking though.
"where's the speed setting in resolve?" with your hands still on the mouse and timeline beats digging through menus or pausing a 20-min tutorial nitter.cf/shadcn/status/21157895…
resolve: want a clip at 50% speed and can't find where?
Edit page, select the clip, press R, type 50, hit Change. for ramps: cmd/ctrl+R opens Retime Controls.

skilly v3.6 is out: the mac app installs updates on its own and tells you when one is waiting, so you're not stuck on an old build.
v3.5 fixed voice getting resent on reused realtime sessions and retired the old intro music.
small stuff. open source: github.com/tryskilly/skilly
premiere: you just want words on the video.
press T, click the Program Monitor, type. it becomes its own graphic clip on the timeline. drag its edges to set how long it shows, then style it in Window > Properties (Essential Graphics on older versions).

It is genuinely insane that Anthropic will bill you differently if you mention certain words in your prompt or have certain files in your codebase
THIS GUY LOST $200 IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THE STRING "HERMES.md" WAS IN HIS GIT COMMITS
HERMES.md is a real convention used in AI agent projects. it's a system prompt specification file. not some obscure edge case
he's on claude max 20x at $200 a month. yesterday claude code hit him with "you're out of extra usage" out of nowhere
his dashboard showed 13% weekly usage. 0% current session. 86% of his plan was sitting there untouched
but $200.98 in extra usage already burned through what should have been covered by his subscription
he tried logout & login, different models, fresh installs and nothing worked
anthropic support sent the ai bot (four rounds of the same scripted response). eventually they just gave up on him
so he started binary searching repos and commits manually on his own time until he found the trigger
the string "HERMES.md" in a recent git commit message
uppercase, with the .md extension, anywhere in your commit history
that's it
claude code includes recent commits in its system prompt and something server side flags HERMES.md and quietly routes you off your max plan onto API rate billing
> AGENTS.md? fine
> README.md? fine
> HERMES without .md? fine
> lowercase hermes.md? fine
> uppercase HERMES.md? you're getting charged API rates
he reported it. anthropic support acknowledged the bug three times, called it an "authentication routing issue", thanked him for finding it
then refused to refund the $200
so the man pays $200 a month for max, lost another $200 to a billing bug they confirmed, did anthropic's QA work for free on his weekend, and got a "thank you for your patience" in return
check your commit history before claude code quietly drains your account too
Tutorials are a context switch, not a teaching method.
So I built a live AI tutor that lives inside the app you're already using. Push-to-talk. Any language. It sees your screen and moves your cursor to exactly where you need to click.
