Imagine having Skills available that implements authentication systems, multi-tenancy, etc.. in your codebase without having to know all the details about how to do this securely and correctly. This would probably boost code quality a lot and prevent insecure/buggy vibe coded products.
If there was a marketplace or directory of skills.md files that were ranked with comments, it would be a good idea for the propagating of this tech
not ranked with comments but I’d expect solid quality from these and they should “just work” in Codex etc.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
you could for example create a skill to access your database for testing purposes and pass in your tables specifications so that the agent can easily retrieve data for you on the fly.
Oooooo, woah, I didn't really "get it" thanks for spelling it out a bit, just thought of some crazy cool experiments I can run if that is true.
but if it’s something more involved or less frequently used (perhaps some debugging methodology, or designing new data schemas) skills are probably a good fit
I wonder if generated skills could be useful to codify the outcome of long sessions where the agent has tried a bunch of things and then finally settled on a solution based on a mixture of test failures and user feedback
I think Skills could turn into something like open source libraries: standardized solutions to common problems, often written by experts.

A lot of the things we want continuous learning for can actually be provided by the ability to obtain skills on the fly.

How are skills different than tool/function calling?
