Start herewhat a skill is, and why it travels
  • The 2,500-skill companyUber's engineers built 2,500+ agent skills. The number everyone quoted is the win. The detail everyone skimmed is how Uber spreads that automation: by hand.
  • Finding skills worth runningThere are hundreds of thousands of agent skills and almost no way to tell which are good. Here's how to find the few that are, without testing 30 of them yourself.
  • A cheap model with a skill beat a frontier model without oneSkills sound like glorified prompts. Then someone ran 880 evals and the cheapest model, with one skill, beat a frontier model's baseline.

About Skillet Daily covers agent skills across every runtime: who shipped what, what the research says, and what changed in the open registry.
