tanteOne of the weirder things in "AI" is the whole "skills" thing. It sounds as if those were somehow little programs or tools integrated into your agents but they are just markdown files with strings that you pull into your prompt to hope the slop machine does better. Crazy shit.
Glyph@tante I know very little about LLMs and even less about product architecture at these companies but that has not stopped me from making devastatingly accurate predictions about a bunch of things, so here's my guess:
the major challenge of current models is context rot, which is obvious and catastrophic when applying them to any real-world problems. "skills" are one of a set of tools to play a little shell game to shorten the prompt by hiding the prompt until heuristics determine it's needed
