I’m excited to share a new repo: Agent Skills for Context Engineering Instead of just offering a library of black-box tools, it acts as a "Meta-Agent" knowledge base. It provides a standard set of skills, written in markdown and code, that you can feed to an agent so it understands how to manage its own cognitive resources. github.com/muratcankoylan… Most agent failures are not model failures; they are context failures. This is still an experimental project. The goal is to establish a platform-agnostic standard for context engineering that can be used in Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot or Codex. skills/ context-fundamentals: What context is, why it matters context-degradation: How context fails (lost-in-middle, poisoning) context-optimization: Compaction, masking, caching multi-agent-patterns: Orchestrator, swarm, hierarchical memory-systems: Vector RAG, knowledge graphs, Zep tool-design: Building tools agents can use evaluation: Testing and measuring agent systems I believe this is a good start, showing developers how to approach context engineering rather than relying on ready-made tools. You will also find the aggregated research documents I used to build these skills in the repo. The skills are synthesized from technical blogs on context and prompt engineering that I bookmarked, AI Labs' documentations, and Anthropic Skills examples. Try the 7 Skills, created using Antrhopic's Skills template format. Experiment with the provided scripts and references, and feel free to contribute to the repo.

It’s actually a good question; the difference is subtle but structural. I usually frame it like this: AGENTS[.]md acts as the declarative context. You write this for every repo (and nested directories) to define the project structure, persona, and coding rules. Skills are the functional protocols. They provide the agent with modular capabilities like advanced tool-use and multi-step chaining that are dynamically discovered only when needed. If AGENTS[.]md defines the identity and environment (the body), Skills provide the specialized toolset (the capabilities) used to execute tasks autonomously.

@Jeande_d I highly recommend voice dictation; just start the mic and speak about the project and what you want the model to do. Then ask a model to convert it into a structured prompt by doing some prompt engineering and use it for a long-running agent task.

When writing a prompt for difficult but attainable task, it helps to think that models have no idea of what you want and they actually don't. Writing prompts is basically writing instruction manuals but for models. It takes long, it is a bit boring to transcribe/compress your full thought process to provide the context, but "simple plain detailed-enough prompts" can move mountains.

The prompt engineering here is super impressive! Such a great example of agent prompting:

Coffee shop told me to put away my laptop because of their weekend policy. Me: opens Cursor app on my phone. Also here’s a friendly reminder: read your agents’ thinking traces.

Some smart model routers available in @DevinAI • Fusion: Frontier performance at 35% lower cost, using a smart sidekick • Agent (Normal): Fast and great at long-horizon planning and execution • Agent (Fast): 2.5x faster, 2x more expensive, same intelligence • Lite: Routes to cheap, fast models for lightweight tasks • DANA: Specialized data analyst router, tuned for analytics • Adaptive: Intelligent local router, picks the best model automatically • Ultra: Always picks the strongest frontier model available @cognition has been at the forefront of smart model routing for over 2 years
Yuchen Jin@Yuchenj_UW

We desperately need a smart model router. 1. We’re seeing a model explosion: GPT-5.6, Grok 4.5, Muse Spark 1.1, GLM-5.2, and Fable 5 all launched within the past month. 2. Even for a single model family like GPT-5.6, there're 3 (Sol, Terra, Luna) and 5 reasoning-effort levels. That is far too many decisions for users to make manually. The best model should be selected automatically based on the task, latency, quality, and cost.

@_TomHoward Right! It’s amazing that you can solve difficult problems with a well-defined two-page prompt and computation.

@JackDePew @trydotworks I wouldn’t use something like GEPA or even DSPy for this kind of task since you need to spend a lot of tokens due to the council style orchestration requirement, but using multiple xHigh reasoning models on the prompt and manually evolving it would be a good solution.

@Jason @joecole Tokens are not going down at all. 50$ subscription was enough last year, now spending 100x of that.

When tokens go down 90% by the end of the year and then another 90% next year, everyone's opinions on artificial general intelligence and superintelligence are going to change radically I'm currently on an unlimited GLM 5.2 bittensor subnet and I can tell you your behavior changes radically when token prices plummet

I really like the new GPT live voice model; it actually made me subscribe to ChatGPT after a year. However, it's a small model; it has to use the heavier reasoning model with tools whenever you ask questions that aren't superficial, which is disrupting the experience a lot. I'm sure this harness will become a model itself soon, but this is another example of how hard it is to build flawless voice ai experiences; duplex interaction loop with a real-time voice model plus deeper reasoning models in parallel seems to be the current best practice.

@juberti Is this a really small model? It’s always “checking” whenever I ask a knowledge question.
