    From this PR it looks like they are doing setup for future / present “agentic coding”. Skills are markdown documents you feed to chatbot “agents” so that you can run different operations with a chatbot with the project in context so that you don’t have to include all of your preferences in the prompt when doing common actions.

    If you have a blanket prohibition of slopware, you should care about this. If you don’t, then 🤷.

      YES. That the threat, even if benign, of opening up explicitly to agentic slopping is real, is my feeling & understanding, thanks. I’m so glad that I have the documented historical perspective mostly from having read one book, yeah I know, but for those interested in the history I urge folks to read ‘The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI’ by Cory Doctorow.

      I don’t really think a blanket prohibition on anything AI related is useful. This doesn’t really ring like anything problematic.
