Ok, this is big!
MCP now defines an extension specifically for discovering and loading Agent Skills from MCP servers
(Save this, It’s worth reading how it works)
The flow is pretty simple:
- MCP Server
- Discover available Skills
- Get Skill metadata
- Load the SKILL.md only when needed
This is a huge step for better context window usage
Instead of loading everything upfront, the agent can discover Skills and load only the one it needs from the MCP
Great progress from the Model Context Protocol team! 👏

there's so much left to be done in the application layer for agents - the success of @bot shows that
we're barely scratching the surface

at openai, many people hook their chatgpt up to slack.
people really don't like when a coworker's chatgpt contacts them asking for help with a task, even when they'd be perfectly happy doing that same work if asked by that coworker.
reinforces how much people care about human relationships and helping each other, and want AI to give time back — or enhance time together — rather than become a layer separating people.

quick update on how this is going: they have gone back to linear because maintaining their internal tool that they vibecoded was taking away from their actual work’s bandwidth.

I still sometimes see people saying "if you know how to write the code, it's faster to write it yourself"
I'd argue the exact opposite: if you know how to write it, you gain nothing from doing the typing yourself - outsource that to a coding agent!

Angie is 100% correct
(Yes, encouraging usage did make sense early on, aka last year, when there was both resistance for usage and costs were manageable)

Saying that coding agents increase/decrease product development costs is like saying that introducing computers to a business in 1989 increases/decreases operational costs. It's extremely true, in both directions, depending on context, which makes both statements meaningless.

Would be cool if there was an easy way to share HTML pages
You could imagine a world wide web of these documents, linked together
Really cool idea

POPULAR OPINION: Gaming is probably healthier for your brain than doomscrolling social media for 6 hours straight.

The confounding factor is that virtually every big company is overstaffed by 2-4x and has been for decades. AI is the catalyst/excuse to finally fix that. Of course nobody wants to say this out loud.
