Agreed. I’ve been telling my team to build up internal packages so we can push all that ad hoc reinvention into something more tangible and deterministic. Invest the $$$ in inference into something the agent can reach for next time that’s neutral and consumable by other code to reduce future spend.
Yes. Build compact CLI-driven tools, write a skill for it (you can use your agent to do most of this work for you).
It just requires being willing to think instead of mashing prompts into a keyboard.
