> I can't be the only one to think it is silly to interact with tools in this way. Honestly, I see skills, "hooks", and other monkey-patch efforts as things that will be short-lived investments, weird kludges from an era where you had to "hand-crank" your AI, more often. Something to go the same way as using HTML tables as bastardized CSS

Agree. It’s sad to see our field plagued by this monkey patch efforts. I reviewed the other day a skill MD file that stated “Don’t introduce bugs, please”. Like, wtf is that? Before LLMs we weren’t taken seriously as an engineering discipline, and I didn’t agree. But nowadays, I feel ashamed of every skill MD file that pollutes the repos I maintain. Junior engineers or fresh graduates that are told to master some AI/LLM tool (I think the nvidia ceo said that) are going to have absolute zero knowledge of how systems work and are going to rely on prompts/skills. How come thats not something to be worried about?
