- Praise: The implementation of CLI-related skills has proven effective, allowing agents to reliably access and utilize tools like Jira, enhancing productivity.
- Praise: The concept of skills as programmable behaviors offers a novel approach to agent functionality, enabling dynamic interaction without constant adjustments.
- Concern: Skills often trigger unreliably, making it challenging for users to utilize tools effectively, which undermines the intended functionality.
- Concern: Users find skills confusing and prefer direct control through CLI tools rather than relying on a folder of instructions they do not fully understand.
- Concern: Documentation skills are loaded inconsistently, leading to frustration when agents struggle to access necessary information during tasks.
