Skills Are the New Man Pages
For decades a command-line tool shipped with a man page so a person could learn to drive it. Now the reader is an AI agent, and it needs the same thing in a form it can read. Here’s my take: skills are the new man pages.
Re-use your skills across all your coding agents
I use more than one coding agent. Not because I’m indecisive — because I’m testing different agents - and learning how they work - and the field is moving fast. Seems like a new one every week!

Tooling Is the New Model
The AI models are good enough. There, I said it. The bottleneck isn’t the model anymore – it’s how you use it.
