alt Hacker NewsIf your llm sees even a difference between local skill and remote MCP thats a leak in your abstraction and shortcoming of the agent harness and should not influence the decision how we need to build these system for the devs and end users. They way this comment thinks about building for agents would lead to a hellscape.

> a difference between local skill and remote MCP
A local skill is a text file with a bunch of explanations of what to do and how, and what pitfalls to avoid. An MCP is a connection to an API that can perform actions on anything. This is a pretty massive difference in terms of concept and I don't think it can be abstracted away. A skill may require an MCP be available to it, for instance, if it's written that way.
Antirez' advice is what I've been doing for a year: use AI to write proper, domain-specific tools that you and it can then use to do more impressive things.
