I love this figure from Anthropic's new talk on "Skills > Agents". Here are my notes: The more skills you build, the more useful Claude Code gets. And it makes perfect sense. Procedural knowledge and continuous learning for the win! Skills essentially are the way you make Claude Code more knowledgeable over time. This is why I had argued that Skills is a good name for this functionality. Claude Code acquires new capabilities from domain experts (they are the ones building skills). Claude Code can evolve the skills as needed and forget the ones it doesn't need anymore. It's a collaborative effort, which can easily be expanded to entire teams, communities, and orgs (via plugins). Skills are particularly useful for workflows where information and requirements constantly change. Finance, code, science, and human-in-the-loop workflows are all great use cases for Skills. You can build new Skills using the built-in skill creation tool, so you are always building new skills with all the best practices. Or you can do what I did, which is build my own skill creator to build custom skills catered to the work I do. Just more levels of customization that Skills also enables. Skills flexibility enables future capabilities to be easily integrated everywhere. Competitors don't have anything remotely close to this type of ecosystem. The deep understanding of Anthropic engineers on the importance of better context management tools and agent harnesses is something to admire. Very bullish on Claude Code.
