Gotcha. What would the ideal look like? Someone could create a financial doc they want to share then tell their agent to "Share foo.md with my team", and it would via mcp? On the b…

Makes sense. Would a tool that let non-tech people easily share and distribute skills without needing git be worth adoption? Would the info being shared just be skills or something…

This is an underrated comment. You could have the best product out there, but AI has not only lowered the effort for competitors but has flooded traditional ways to get your produc…

Why stop at skills though? If you are trying to solve the provisioning problem for agent tools, shouldn't that also include MCP, commands, hooks, rules, etc in addition to skills?

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is anything in the skills spec that prohibits a skill from having binaries? A skill may even choose to embed them to be able to run in san…

If you want to share skills using something that has versioning, automatic updates, and focused on teams vs the internet at large, consider sx - https://github.com/sleuth-io/sx

If you want to share skills (and other tools) with teams at scale, consider sx - https://github.com/sleuth-io/sx [yup, my project :)]

Claude Code is amazing for individuals but terrible for teams. I spent the last six months building my perfect mix of MCP servers, subagents, commands and skills. Claude Code write…

I have a CD copy of the game, and many fond memories playing it with the wife in the early 2000's...

Right, Jira is great at planning, but requires a lot of gardening to keep it up to date with actuals like when things ship and where. Glue automations like this can be really helpf…

I met and worked with Bob in open source work in the mid 2000's, mostly with what would become Guice. He wrote this framework, again, thanks to his distaste of Spring and we put an…

I tried and liked Mint, but ended up with Red Pocket (MVNO that does Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) when I moved somewhere that needed AT&T. It is pretty handy having one provider bu…

Where I found that fell down was wanting to do things like slow zooms and interesting transitions. I'd love something like a Python or bash script to tweak that addressed those.

Shotcut has this one cool feature [1] - drop a bunch of pictures into it and it'll create an animated slide show automatically. I've looked for ways to automate that via something …

I haven't tried using the teleprompter with a webcam, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use a Sony a6600 myself, with a Sigma 16mm/f1.4 prime lense. Regardless, I recommend c…

Sure, this is what I see [1] and you can see how it looks on the other side from my Twitch streams [2] [1] https://i.imgur.com/4JPIHx1.jpg [2] https://www.twitch.tv/mrdonbrown

I use the Caddie Buddy one [1], which is a bit more robust for bigger cameras. There are other options where you can use your phone or something, but I prefer using a mirrorless an…

I'm surprised no one has mentioned using a teleprompter yet. You can pick one up for around $100 and when combined with a little 7" monitor (another $100) attached to your computer…

Exactly! Faster cycles means less waste and more productivity, not to mention better solutions and happier team members. It takes work for sure to build those relationships, but ev…

Well said. Funny we realized long ago that you can't just have a backend team build an API then throw that the wall to a frontend team to use it, yet somehow, we often try to do th…

I recently did an interview on this topic [1] and I was surprised to hear the designer say, "If the developer tells me to design whatever and they'll build it, that is a huge fail"…

When I worked at Atlassian, we had this issue as well, given all the many services that were deployed for products. A few of us left and created Sleuth [1] to solve it for Atlassia…

I built exactly this in my Manim-based library, code-video-generator [1] (via the code-video-generator command and the --slides flag). It basically turns any Manim scene.wait() cal…

The library should work with a few other languages like Java, JavaScript, and C++. If you want to add another one, take a look at comment_parser.py as it is pretty simple.
