A method for the people who’d rather feed AI their expertise than fear it.
I Eat AI for Breakfast is the open movement around SMETP — the Subject Matter Expertise Transfer Protocol. A practical way to capture how a real expert actually works and turn it into a portable skill any modern LLM stack can use.
The protocol is MIT-licensed. The community is free to join. The method is opinionated and built to be copied.
What SMETP actually is
A protocol, not a product. Three things you can copy, modify, and run yourself:
A discovery interview
A 5-minute structured voice conversation that captures the decisions, vocabulary and edge cases an expert actually uses at work.
A portable skill.md
The capture compiles into a runnable workflow + dictionary + ontology + persona. One file, plain markdown, runs anywhere.
An open SDK
MIT-licensed npm packages — @smetp/spec, @smetp/sdk, @smetp/cli, @smetp/runtime — bring-your-own LLM, no lock-in.
One method, many surfaces
SMETP is the engine. I Eat AI for Breakfast is what we ship on top of it.
Discovery sessions
A free, hosted way to run an SMETP interview and walk away with a real skill.md.
The Twin runtime
A persistent, cited Twin compiled from a discovery — chatable, deployable to any LLM host.
The Breakfast Club
Three drops a week — one tactic, one workflow story, one sharp take.
The published spec
SMETP versioned spec with examples, edge cases and validation rules — open on GitHub.
Ontology packs
Domain starter graphs (research, support, ops, healthcare) so a discovery isn’t cold-started.
A reference CLI
@smetp/cli — run an interview from a terminal, compile, validate, export.
Why bother
Most AI tools want to replace your expert. SMETP captures them so the AI you already pay for finally gets useful. The bet: in a world where models keep changing, the durable thing is a clean, structured record of how the work actually gets done.
We’d rather you eat AI for breakfast than the other way around.
