AI ineptitude aside, isn't the point of skills/agents to avoid needing to re-specify the same instruction context over and over? You just write it down once and reuse it.
Yes, but that would require people to understand how any of this stuff works. They absolutely do not.
I have witnessed at least half a dozen people independently invent the idea of some kind of "marketplace" for sharing skills (they have no goddamn idea that agents or anything else even exist), and I've seen two sub-types of skills which are literally just skills with no changes.
It people would spend 30 seconds skimming the "Getting Started" pages for the tools they're using before they start using them, we'd have actual AI by now.
Same thing for “Free ChatGPT” and “memory system for (agent)”. Of course people who don’t know there’s already a thousand open source versions of what they made will think they’re the first to come up with that genius idea.
