which part of that is engineering exactly?
Not trying to be snarky. I genuinely don't get it
"probably" is the real load bearing part of this statement.
Markdown can never guarantee deterministic agent operations. It is an influence on inference, not a deterministic code path. How "statistically reliable" is it?
Citation needed. Have you read some of the skills slop Anthropic were pushing at some point? Here is "frontend design":

The deduced topic provides the soul - the quiet conceptual DNA woven invisibly into form, color, and composition.
That’s a bold assumption. I would be surprise if they even read those skills (I don’t know anyone actually reading SKILL files)
