Folks: when you write skills, ask your agent to be token efficient, relax grammer. I see too many skills that write books in the skill description, and all that crap is loaded into every context.

The thing I really appreciate about local AI and home-rolled agent harnesses is that this is where the people who are in software for the love of the game are creating a garage-hacker movement. OSSing everything. Building and sharing tools. Experimenting.
100000% contrast to the AI doomer / grifters / slop-maxxing / course sellers.
If you are feeling down or worried about how AI is going to impact your career, this is where you're going to find your love of building + learning things again and probably drastically increase your market value as a developer right now too.
You can probably jump in with an old gaming rig or a Mac and start right away - you won't be replacing frontier models with that gear, but you'll be surprised what you can automate and accomplish even with small models.

> Give people Opus 4.6
> People love it.
> For 2 months you degrade Opus 4.6
> You give back normal Opus 4.6 and call it Opus 4.7.
> People love it.
That's the business model.
I got sick of being forced to see tons of ads and to log in just to visualize and export a Mermaid diagram...

@Aaronontheweb@ICooper I only discovered it today. I saw that they have a skill eval mechanism that looks handy and having a package manager for skills is kinda nice
