For that particular skill, you can see which platforms out there of agents, coding type agents, are using those skills because humans went and collected it or agents went and collected it.
I don't know how to teach my agents to do that yet.
But anyway, this is the first time I've seen a credible, substantial company, Vercel, putting forward a collection of skills that you can easily go and get to add to your library of skills in your skills folder in your cloud code implementation on your machine.
Vercel is spelled V-E-R-C-E-L.
Right.
If you see that, you know, a if you see that one of the skills, the top two skills in there, I think if I recall correctly, one of them has to do with front end development.
Right.
So if you're designing the front end of an application and the other one, you know, has to do with React, right?
I made the language that is used in application development.
Well, those have thousands and thousands of downloads already.
I think the top one was 25,000, but it quickly drops off so that even on the first page, the number of skills downloaded by skill drops off to the hundreds and then very quickly down to the dozens.
And so if you're downloading one of these very popular ones, you can...
I think, be pretty confident that it's tested.
It's been used by a number of people and there's no blowback on it that went back to Vercel saying, hey, this was junk and should be at the top of the charts there.
Yeah.
So I'll paint a distinction that sits in my mind, Greg, which is like in a skill you can have as part of the skill that one of the first things it does is it goes to a repo and checks for the latest information that's available in that repo.
that's not something that a custom GPT could do, I don't think.
A custom GPT isn't quite that agentic.
You have to populate the custom GPT with a bunch of knowledge documents and then the instruction set.
And those are the two main components of that.
