no that makes no sense. the skill doesn't do anything by itself, the mcp (can be) attached to a deterministic oracle that can return correct information.




But the skill includes the scripts to do things.

So in my nano banana image generation skill, it contains a python script that does all the actual work. The skill just knows how to call the python script.

We're attaching tools to the md files. This is at the granular level of how to hammer a nail, how to use a screw driver, etc. And then the agent, the handyman, has his tool box of skills to call depending on what he needs.


lets say i'm in erlang. you gonna include a script to unpack erlang bytecode across all active modules and look through them for a function call? oorrr... have that code running on localhost:4000 so that its a single invocation away, versus having the llm copypasta the entire script you provided and pray for the best?

The LLM doesn't copy the script, it runs it.

But for sure, there are places it makes sense, and there are places it doesn't. I'm arguing to maximully use it for places that make sense.

People are not doing this. They are leaving the LLM to everything. I am arguing it is better to move everything possible into tools that you can, and have the LLM focus only on the bits that a program doesn't make sense for.
