    I'm Guy, the founder behind Snyk — now building Tessl, a package manager for agent skills. We’ve recently witnessed that most teams still treat skills as static artifacts: markdown files, created or copied from repo to repo. This approach offers a strong initial boost, but quickly creates debt: - Skills are duplicated, and updates never roll out. - Poor quality skills go unseen, misguiding agents instead of helping. - Skill knowledge grows stale, and don’t keep up with the systems and practices they describe. Without a way to evaluate skills, teams have no clear way to understand how good a…

    I work as an engineer at the Dutch government. We have hundreds of technical standards that developers should follow when building government software: API design rules, messaging protocols, authentication profiles, accessibility requirements. The problem is that most developers don't know these standards exist until someone reviews their code (if at all). Skills are Markdown files that inject domain knowledge into AI coding tools. When a developer starts building an API, the tool automatically loads the relevant standard. No plugins to write, no code. Just structured knowledge in Markdown.…

    Founder here. I built NEO, an AI agent designed specifically for AI and ML engineering workflows, after repeatedly hitting the same wall with existing tools: they work for short, linear tasks, but fall apart once workflows become long-running, stateful, and feedback-driven. In real ML work, you don’t just generate code and move on. You explore data, train models, evaluate results, adjust assumptions, rerun experiments, compare metrics, generate artifacts, and iterate; often over hours or days. Most modern coding agents already go beyond single prompts. They can plan steps, write files, run…

    Hello HN, I’ve been building AI agents lately and ran into a common "Context Bloat" problem. When an agent has 20+ skills, stuffing every system prompt, reference doc, and tool definition into a single request quickly hits token limits and degrades model performance (the "lost in the middle" problem). To solve this, I built OpenSkills, an open-source SDK that implements a Progressive Disclosure Architecture for agent skills. The Core Concept: Instead of loading everything upfront, OpenSkills splits a skill into three layers: Layer 1 (Metadata): Light-weight tags and triggers (always loaded…

    We built an open-source library of 125 GTM (go-to-market) skills that plug into AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. With these skills an AI agent can automatically: - Find ICP leads from conference speakers, LinkedIn activity, or job boards - Generate personalized cold email sequences - Monitor competitor blogs, pricing pages, and hiring signals - Generate programmatic SEO pages from keyword lists - Track where your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude answers --- How skills work Each skill is a structured markdown file containing instructions, scripts, and tool…

    Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space. Remy is an AI agent that builds full-stack TypeScript apps from a spec written in a new flavor of annotated markdown. The spec has two layers: prose describing what the app does, and annotations that carry the technical precision (data types, edge cases, validation rules, code snippets). The agent then "compiles" this into code: backend methods, typed schemas, frontends, test scenarios, and everything else are derived artifacts of the…

    We’ve been seeing more and more developers use AI coding agents directly in their GraphQL workflows. The problem is the agents tend to fall back to generic or outdated GraphQL patterns. After correcting the same issues over and over, we ended up packaging the GraphQL best practices and conventions we actually want agents to follow as reusable “Skills,” and open-sourced them here: https://github.com/apollographql/skills Install with `npx skills add apollographql/skills` and the agent starts producing named operations with variables, `[Post!]!` list patterns, and more…
