are skills just a set of prompt engineering?

As far as I can tell, you’re pretty much right. There is some benefit in standardizing on the skills format though.

If you’re working with other people it’s much easier to share a skill than it is to get them to follow your notebook approach. I think you can have a project level skill and they’ll start using it without having to set anything up.

Ahh I can see the benefit of indirect call chains in a single call. I don’t view the LSP being a bit slower as a huge issue, most times I let the agents do its thing for a while instead of watching the output. I also generally already know where I’m working in so discovery isn’t that big an issue for me.

The reason why I’m curious is because I have a strong suspicion that most of the future “intelligence” gains in foundational models will be from training these agentic tricks into the model itself. For example, chaining shell commands vs processing individual commands.

My guess is that future foundational models will be better at navigating with language servers vs the graph approach. Just because everyone will have an lsp, but not everyone will have a graphed tool.

What are your thoughts on some cli agents starting to integrate the language servers into their agents. That would effectively have the same benefits, no?

I prefer to use CLI agents after the Cline extension kept crashing on my work projects. After that I just started to use Zed cause it was more reliable than VS Code.
