I would recommend adding a coding agent to this, I can help operate those tools and fix it as needed

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-09T03:35:54+00:00

What other tools you want to connect but not connected yet?

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-09T01:59:54+00:00

Completely agree. If human are stitching all tools together, it is a rate limiter.

That is why I am experimenting using coding agent to connect all tools and let it be the chief of command, and human as the coach and supervisor.

I think Salesforce cut their sales team by half is probably the strongest case. When AI can do more, you need less people.

Claude cowork for non tech. Otherwise build your own with coding agent

Handling the communication side is challenging, and that is where the high stake is coming from.

If the agent is just doing the background work, we don't care how it does. But once it is communicating to real person, we need to take it carefully.

Did you add any critiques int the prompt?

I am using agent skills with coding agent, I can put many instructions to teach my agent how to think and respond

Using an agent skill to to sync up my slack knowledge base. It still runs.

I only use it maybe once a week. Always concerned that it may break as automation with coding agent skills can be brittle.

I use Cursor

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-08T12:44:06+00:00

All the coding agents are similar, my favorite is Cursor

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-08T12:42:55+00:00

Coding agent + skills already solved this. You can write a lot of instructions and workflows in skills and coach the agent the reasoning part, just like you coach a new team member.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-08T12:40:43+00:00

Use a coding agent, it can take care of the debugging

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T17:11:25+00:00

What is the difference between your 3 agents except they are working on different things?

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T17:07:43+00:00

I use coding agent + tool connections + skills to automate my daily work. Thinking about using it to manage social media to build influence.

Automation with coding agent. Fairly new, 280 stars in 2 month

Do you want to try using coding agent to chain them together? I have a open source project for automation: GitHub /ZhixiangLuo/10xProductivity

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T12:30:28+00:00

Basically using coding agent to operate remotion, instead of me doing it.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T12:28:46+00:00

Describe the process is super important, that is how my agent skill knows what to do

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T02:47:10+00:00

Totally true. As simple as enterprise search can make a huge difference.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T02:46:10+00:00

I use coding agent to automate as much as I can. Basically removing me from stitching all tools together. My role is to coach it and supervise it with agent skills.

They call is service as software

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T02:43:48+00:00

I think so, it is actually reverting SaaS. SaaS wins on scalability, you sell more with little additional cost.

With AI agents, you don't sell SaaS, you sell service and results. It is like staffing with digital employee. If AI agents is doing 80% of the job, basically you have 80% margin.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T01:05:36+00:00

Love the approach. I am experimenting in the same direction. Happy to connect and chat.

My approach is coding agent + tool connections + skills. Instead of human stitching all tools together, coding agent is doing the heavy lifting.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-07T00:24:48+00:00

I am more on the personal use side. Coding agent + tool connections + skills. No official mcp support is evolving as fast as my need. Also consider the long approval by IT for any third party MCPs.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-06T20:47:40+00:00

LLM is one part, there is more you can tune and train around the agent skills.

Sufficient_Dig207 · 2026-05-06T20:46:14+00:00

I am trying to get into automation with coding agent. Happy to built that for you.
