-## The Resume Is Obsolete 
-
-You are no longer marketing to people—you are positioning yourself for AI. AI has no attention limits. It can take in and reason over far more detail than any human ever could. The traditional resume is effectively obsolete. 
-
-## Stop Beating Our Chests For Attention
-
-For most of human history, networking and career growth have been constrained by attention. We join networks, attend events, build audiences, post on social media, create content, and continuously market ourselves because there is intense competition for limited human attention. Much of modern professional life is spent trying to be seen.
-
-AI does not suffer from attention scarcity. It can process far more information than any person, identify patterns across millions of signals, and understand context at a depth that was previously impossible. Instead of constantly trying to capture attention, we can focus on becoming more fully ourselves: doing meaningful work, pursuing our interests, building expertise, helping others, and documenting what we learn.
-
-The purpose of a PID is not to create another platform for self-promotion. It is to create a rich, authentic signal about who you are, what you know, what you have experienced, what you care about, and where you are headed. The more accurately you represent yourself, the easier it becomes for AI to connect you with the people, opportunities, ideas, resources, and collaborations that align with your goals.
-
-In the attention economy, success often belonged to those who were best at being noticed. In the emerging signal economy, success increasingly belongs to those who generate meaningful signal by doing real things, learning continuously, and sharing authentic knowledge. The goal is not to shout louder. The goal is to become easier to find.

 ## Getting Started (Recommended)
 
 To accelerate your first draft:
 
 * Gather your existing materials (resume, LinkedIn profile, bios, project notes, personality tests, etc.)  
-* Provide them to an AI chat model (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Grok)  
-* Include this document as context:  save a copy of this to your Google Drive or Microsoft Onedrive or create a public Git repo with your PID    
-* Ask the model to generate an initial draft of your PID
 
-This approach can significantly reduce the time required and give you a strong starting point to refine.
+Give to your AI chat agent the following:
+
+1. your existing materials from above;
+2. the PID-initial-creation-skill.md document; modify as needed to serve your specific needs 
+3. This template 
+
+* Ask the AI agent to generate an initial draft of your PID. Save it in a format that is publiucly accessible via a URL (Google Doc, Microsoft Word in One Drive, a markdown file in Github, a PDF file that can be hosted on many different cloud storage platforms).
