I really need Codex, and every other agent interface to solve this individual separation for every skill you install. So hard to find what you're looking for quickly.

Skill folders pls.

[Matt @mattjomitchell]

@divaagurlxw thats a big ahh list

[Matt @mattjomitchell]

@mattpocockuk AI sucks at design because it aims to solve the problem in question and skips the fundamentals of building interfaces step by step like you’d actually expect in design or frontend dev. Too much focus on “one-shot an entire app from a single prompt” still.

Agents ignoring the 500 skills you've installed unless directly using /

[Matt @mattjomitchell]

Are AI agents cracked at Tanstack Start yet or are there gaps?

I spent too much time on this:

CLARK: My contention is that with Claude’s new design tool, Figma has essentially been rendered obsolete, the canvas-based paradigm is most aptly characterized as a legacy artifact from the era before models could generate production-ready interfaces from inten—
WILL: [interrupting] Of course that’s your contention. You’ve never shipped anything and just watched the launch video twice. You just got finished reading some hot take, probably a Twitter thread or whoever’s got a Substack this week, and you’re gonna be convinced Figma’s dead until next month when you actually try to iterate on a flow and realize “regenerate” isn’t the same as “nudge this four pixels.” Then you’re gonna pivot to talking about how the canvas was always just a lossy interface for intent. That’s gonna last until next year when you’re in here regurgitating some take about how design tools are collapsing into a single agentic surface, you know, the post-craft utopia and the disintermediation of taste by foundation models.

CLARK: [taken aback] Well as a matter of fact I won’t, because generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas in the first pla—

WILL: “Generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas, especially as models get better at reasoning about layout and hierarchy…” You got that from that Figma-is-dead thread, right? The one that went viral last week. Yeah, I read it too. You gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us, or you have any thoughts — of your own — on this? Or is that your thing, you come into a bar, you skim some trending tweets over lunch and you pawn it off as your own idea to impress some founders, embarrass my friend?

[Clark is stunned]
WILL: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in about fifty product cycles you’re gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you’re gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in building things. One: don’t pick a side in a tool war you’re not actually building in. And two: the people shipping right now are using Claude and Figma and Claude Code before you’ve finished writing your LinkedIn post about which one won.

CLARK: Yeah, well I’ll have Claude build my whole product stack, and you’ll still be pushing rectangles around in Figma.

WILL: [smiles] Yeah, maybe. But at least I’ll still know how to think when the model’s wrong.
