I'm the opposite, I find it straight forward to use all these things, and am surprised people aren't getting it.
I've been trying to write blogs explaining it recently, but I don't think I'm very good at making it sound interesting to people.
What can I explain that you would be interested in?
Here was my latest attempt today.

You say "My Claude Code Setup" but where is the actual setup there? I generally agree with everything about how LLMs should be called you say, but I don't see any concrete steps of changing Claude Code's settings in there? Where are the "35 agents. 68 skills. 234MB of context."? Is the implementation of the "Layer 4" programs intended to be left to the reader? That's hardly approachable.
I got similar feedback with my first blog post on my do router - https://vexjoy.com/posts/the-do-router/
Here is what I don't get. it's trivial to do this. Mine is of course customized to me and what I do.
The idea is to communicate the ideas, so you can use them in your own setup.
It's trivial to put for example, my do router blog post in claude code and generate one customized for you.
So what does it matter to see my exact version?
These are the type of things I don't get. If I give you my details, it's less approachable for sure.
The most approachable thing I could do would be to release individual skills.
Like I have skills for generating images with google nano banana. That would be approachable and easy.
But it doesn't communicate the why. I'm trying to communicate the why.
I just don't have much faith in "if you're doing it right the results will be magically better than what you get otherwise" anymore. Any single person saying "the problems you run into with using LLMs will be solved if you do it my way" has to really wow me if they want me to put in effort on their tips. I generally agree with your why of why you set up like that. I'm skeptical that it will get over the hump of where I still run into issues.
When you've tried 10 ways of doing it but they all end up getting into a "feed the error back into the LLM and see what it suggests next" you aren't that motivated to put that much effort into trying out an 11th.
The current state of things is extremely useful for a lot of things already.
