Build a more specific skill the for the exact workflow you want?

Skill still needs to be loaded in context, what would it change?

I think that what they mean is that instead of ten perfectly orthogonal "unix philosophy" tools (skills) for the agent to compose when solving a problem, each with an API surface (description text) the size of Texas, you'd want to can each composition in a shell script (or a bespoke rust binary, if you enjoy watching your bot perform some heavy lifting) that only solves one problem but solves it so focused that the accompanying skill description barely consumes more context than the tool's self descriptive name.

I still didn't follow, you mean to pipe things between tool calls? Like if you want to query something and then update another without the intermediate getting brought in context?

Instead of requiring each session to understand the n tools used to solve a particular problem, you bundle up the solution in a conventional script (that's what I meant by "can", as in canning) that the agent can use with very little documentation in the context. When the model is smart enough to figure out the composition of underlying tools during regular execution, it will also be able to do the canning up as a script and write the lightweight documentation that turns the script into a skill. Subsequent use will only require that lightweight documentation in context.

Won't you just end up with hundred of very specific scripts that can only do a very narrow thing? And now they'll all have their description and name in context.

The mcp support gets more support because there is no cli.

You are trying to make friends not interview people. The easiest way to make new friends is to engage in a common activity. Sports, hobbies, music, clubs whatever. Join one and see what happens.

Get into slacklining. Set up a slackline at a park and people will come.

If you're into music, find out what local/regional bands are in your area and where the small local venues are. Show up a little early and talk to strangers.

Rock climbing isn't for me, but my brother has made a bunch of friends at the local rock climbing gym.

Bird watching clubs are everywhere and you guys can nerd out over different camera setups.

Join a running or cycling club. I've heard the ones around here are very welcoming to people new to the sports.

Table top RPGs are fun. Your local game stores probably have one shot nights where everyone is welcome and noobs are encouraged.

Find some sort of hobby you enjoy and find others who want to nerd out over it


.. and it's okay to be the one to start a conversation.


“for you”. Not because you were asked mind you.

Appeasement does not work. It emboldens fascist dictators.

You must be new. github was never that stable.

The unfortunate reality is that unless you use these tools it is impossible to keep up. People using these tools well are substantially more productive, and often they were already the most productive.

Force multipliers need force to multiply, but also remember force is a vector, so watch out for multiplying in the wrong direction

by and large yes.

This might have something to do with the US president threatening to attack Greenland? Decoupling from the US is the only sane thing to do.

Denmark has a freakin' King. You guys are still a monarchy... Greenland is closer to the US than Europe, and we defended and gave back demark during WW2.

Demark provides almost no financial support to Greenland, and can't defend it. It will prove to be very strategically important as the ice caps melt.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and Demark lets russia use the Danish straights to transport oil despite the US asking them to not allow them entry. Demark has no way to protect it's own straits, how is it suppose to stop an invasion of Greenland from russia? How is it supposed to impose order and control the north artic if it can't even protect it's own straights?

These are very real security concerns from then US that a monarch can't address.


All of that aside it is not American territory and it won’t be unless it is taken by force against the will of the people that live there (and Denmark). People don’t like be threatened in particular by countries which they’re allied with.

kinda like the Thule?

Today, Greenland is recognized as an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. They are fighting for their own independence currently, and do not want to be ruled by Denmark.

Lastly, he never "threatened to take it by force". When cornered by a reporter on whether the military was off the table, he said nothing is ever off the table in a negotiation. After all that, Demark and the EU poured billions into Greenland for defense.

It took the guise of threats for the EU to finally step up on defense.


"Lastly, he never "threatened to take it by force"."

You're funny.
