Doesn't Skills solve all of this?

OpenClaw, Hermes and other agents have already made skill adoption mainstream?

Are you guys still seeing a future where people are dumping entire MCP tool defs into context?

Great question, @Tsarp - Skill and tools work great together. What we've found is that agents generally need both to achieve great results. We're actually not trying to replace skills, but to give them new super powers.

Are there any examples you've run into where skills were missing tools (or data) that they needed for a specific task?

  • Hmm, hoping this isn't a generic LLM generated response.

    Skills have the scripts folder and you can precisely describe when and when not to use a script. This can end up directly wrapping API(s), CLIs, generic scripts or even other MCP servers.

    CC and codex both have the skill creator and you can have them build the skill for you.

    Havent run into any scenarios where skills were missing tools. 1-2 iterations and its usually taken care off quite quickly.
