Heh, the problem with having a half drafted post on your machine for a few weeks is the industry moves fast!

I had the post pretty much done, went on vacation for a week, and Claude Skills came out in the interim.

That being said Skills are indeed an implementation of the patterns possible with linking, but they are narrower in scope than what's possible even with MCP Resources if they were properly made available to agents (e.g. dynamic construction of context based on environment and/or fetching from remote sources).

The problem with MCP resources is someone needs to stand up a server. That’s enough overhead and infrastructure that it slows down creating these kinds of resources and linking. Do any of the popular forge sites have like a GitHub pages but it’s MCP kind of capability? I think that would lower the hurdle for standing up such tooling so it would be much more appealing to actually do.
