Hi HN — I'm Scott. Skillscript is a small language I built to write what I want my local agent to actually do, in a form I can read and version, instead of hoping the model gets it right each time. The itch started with something small. I wanted my NanoClaw agent to run my morning brief the same way every day. Check overnight tickets, summarize the deploy pipeline, flag anything urgent. Every session, it would re-figure out how to do this from scratch, drift a little, and cost tokens for what's basically a fixed procedure. I could put it in a system prompt or an MD skill file, but those are…

Hey HN! Built a template for distributing AI agent skills via npm. Problem: AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) support custom "skills" but distribution is manual - copy files to ~/.tool/skills/, repeat for updates, no versioning. Solution: Standard npm packages with lifecycle hooks: npm install -g @org/my-skill npm update -g @org/my-skill Benefits: - Semantic versioning (^1.2.0 for auto-updates) - Private registries for enterprise - Standard CI/CD integration - Discoverable on npmjs.com It's a GitHub template - fork, customize SKILL.md, publish.…

I started four years ago on what we now call Nexlayer. Back then, there were no AI coding agents. We were just trying to make shipping real production apps suck less. Then Chatgpt happened. Cursor happened. Claude Code happened. Suddenly people were building apps in 10 minutes but still spending weeks trying to make it real. We realized: the cloud wasn't built for agents. It was built for humans who know infrastructure. So we rebuilt it. Nexlayer is an agent-native cloud platform. Your coding agent connects via MCP, you say "deploy this to nexlayer," and it's live. The MCP auto-detects your…

I created this tool after writing a few agent skills by hand and noticing this pattern was repetitive. Paste a documentation URL, enter your own model API key, and it gets the page content client-side to create a reusable SKILL.md. There is no backend/proxy, so it stays as secure as possible. I would like feedback on the structure of the output and the edge cases.

I just open-sourced the Google GenAI Skills repo. Using Agent Skills standard (SKILL md), you can now give your favorite CLI agents (Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor) instant mastery over: Google ADK DeepMind Veo Gemini Nano Banana GenAI Python SDK and more to come... Agents use "progressive disclosure" to load only the context they need, keeping your prompts fast and cheap. Try installed Google ADK skill for example: npx skills add cnemri/google-genai-skills --skill google-adk-python Check out the repo and drop a . Feel free to contribute:…
