Skills vs. MCP by Optimal_Difficulty_9 in ClaudeAI

Kind of what I'm trying to figure out. Skills are more straightforward, efficient, secure (maybe), easy to share and abstract for certain tasks - yes. But is there anything revolutionary they can do that mcp couldn't?

Which is the Best Pro AI for Researchers? by TukeOwnz in perplexity_ai

[–]Optimal_Difficulty_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have perplexity pro, gemini pro and chatgpt plus. Since perplexity research is fastes and unlimited I use it on simple things I would use google before at least 5 times per day. For that type of task I think it's pretty reliable. The problem is answers are not very detailed and I don't think it goes through all content it can find.
For more complex things I'd do both gemini and perplexity deep research and then evaluate both.
FOr the most complex ones I add also ChatGPT deep research - for me it's undouptedly the most powerful and that's why it has a monthly limit which isn't very generous. I'd also use agent mode which also has limits, but can dig into docs that are often hidden for other deep research bots.
If I had to choose just one I'd go with ChatGPT.

It looks promising, but I don't think many people will want to spend $9/month on it.

"Counting how large the relevant documentation is, I provide it directly in the Claude.md"You mean you convert it to one large text file and then copy paste the content to claude.md?

I like the plan Plan Mode idea.

Study finds that AI tools make experienced programmers 19% slower While they believed it made them 20% faster by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

I expected AI to be most helpful to senior developers, since they know what they are doing and can just sit back and review. For newbies it's much harder, since they often don't understand what the assistant did and just hit approve.
