Sol outperforms Grok 4.6 in AI-assisted design tasks, user reports

A user on Reddit's r/cursor subreddit shared their experience comparing the AI models Sol and Grok 4.6 for a scientific figure creation task using draw.io. The user found that Sol, when set to its highest thinking setting, completed the task efficiently in a single pass. In contrast, Grok 4.6, even at its highest thinking setting, required over a dozen iterations and still failed to produce a satisfactory result. The user is seeking insights into how others write AI skills that are model-agnostic or how they manage skills specific to models like Sol. AI
