Are you the tech lead or the product exec of your agentic team? Don't underestimate what your agentic team can do for you.

Check out the skills for Claude Code (@ClaudeDevs)

[Steve Stava @sstava]

If your agents have task-specific names, you're using agents in place of skills.

"frontend-agent." "database-agent." "testing-agent." Sound familiar?

The only things a subagent adds that a skill can't do are model routing and persistent memory. That's it.

In Claude Code, a skill already has a name, a description, allowed-tools, instructions, and bundled files. A subagent has a name, a description, allowed-tools, a system prompt, and optional skill references. The overlap is almost total.

So when you create an agent called "api-developer" and fill it with Express conventions, Prisma patterns, and Zod validation rules — you didn't build an agent. You built a skill and stuck it in an agent file.

This happens because people model their agents after their human teams. You have a frontend developer, a backend developer, and a QA engineer — so you build three agents. But agents aren't people. They don't need identities.

The only reasons to create distinct agent definitions are the parameters that make them structurally different from one another:

- model routing (Haiku for cheap exploration, Opus for complex reasoning)
- persistent memory (agent-scoped knowledge that compounds across sessions — each named agent builds its own)

That's the unique value of an agent definition. Everything else — domain knowledge, conventions, patterns, procedural expertise — belongs in skills and subdirectory-level CLAUDE.md files.

All you need is one generic agent definition with process instructions (how to recover from crashes, how to journal progress, how to escalate blockers, key learnings to be shared...just like persistent memory).

The skills carry the reusable knowledge and subdirectory CLAUDE.md files bind the right skills to the right part of the codebase.

Same agent lands in apps/api/? The CLAUDE.md there says "load express-api-patterns and prisma-patterns." Same agent lands in apps/web/? Different CLAUDE.md, different skills, different specialist.

The agent didn't change. The context did.

Stop naming agents after job titles. Start using them for what only they can do and make it easier to centralize your team's knowledge and capabilities in skills.

@joebarnard I asked ChatGPT to find the rocket. It found it pretty quickly! A lot easier than I thought.

[Steve Stava @sstava]

@nocodebackend @AnthropicAI Feel free to ask questions and I will respond and use the questions as a driver to create some concise instructions. I hope this gets you started!

[Steve Stava @sstava]

Decided to connect @nocodebackend to @AnthropicAI (Claude Desktop) via their new MCP server approach.

I am now able to access any of my Xano APIs via Claude and ask questions about the data behind my Xano APIs!

[Steve Stava @sstava]

@nocodebackend @AnthropicAI I used this video as my starting point. You should reference this to understand the basics. By following his Claude config instructions with my files (updated for your machine directories) you should be off to a good start.

@nocodebackend @AnthropicAI I did it the lazy way. This link is the zip file for the code. I still need to add some instructions, but didn't want to take longer than I have already.

@lexxy0905 @nocodebackend @AnthropicAI Will do. It will probably be tomorrow 👍

I added a new API call to my custom GPT. I was able to easily get my GPT to save a favorite recipe by just telling to to "save this recipe". It knew to call the POST API I had just configured in the Actions of the GPT configuration 😳 @nocodebackend @ChatGPTapp #AI #GenAI
