The point where that breaks down is “next time it’s aware of the CLI and uses it”. That only really works well inside the same session, and often the next session it will create a different tool and use that one.

That was already "fixed" by people adding snippets to agents.md and it worked. Now it's even more streamlined with skills. You can even have cc create a skill after a session (i.e. prompt it like "extract the learnings from this session and put them into a skill for working with this specific implementation of sqlite"). And it works, today.

      Yeah, that makes sense. That's not what the person that I replied was talking about, tho. Skills work fine for "loading context pertinent to one type of task", such as working on a feature without "forgetting" what was done in the previous session.

      The article deals with specific, somewhat predefined workflows.
