alt Hacker NewsCan you clarify what exactly you mean? Skills are markdown files, so they definitely can't call APIs or CLIs. Are you saying that a skill can tell the agent to use curl to call web APIs? Or something different?

Skills can bundle scripts. Skills can express how to use curl. Skills can integrate with your fips keys if you want them to.

They almost certainly mean skills can tell the agent to use the api, and it can succeed at doing that.
Technically they can at least how I'm using or abusing them - I ride windows so they have a generic powershell script bolted on to handle special API use through the skill to make it easier for the agent to call data up noted in the skill. does it lack full API details? absolutely. I have also a learning skill where if it has to go for a think / fail / try to figure something new out to grow a new skill or update an existing one.
skills to me suck when they are shared with a team - haven't found the secret sauce here to keep these organic skills synced between everyone
