Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP by Simon Willison

Skills are Markdown with a tiny bit of YAML metadata and some optional scripts in whatever you can make executable in the environment. They feel a lot closer to the spirit of LLMs - throw in some text and let the model figure it out.

Here’s the learn documentation.

It’s a simple feature. The bunch of things Anthropic has announced since the past one month while I’ve been on the ChatGPT train is staggering.

I am tempted to go back. The only thing ChatGPT has right now is the web ui for codex. This was ot would be free till 20th, after which the web usage will count toward the overall limits.

I think it makes sense to me to go back to Claude and try that out.
