> they are the first to offer this abstraction.

My point is that Skills are not the first to do this. Well written MCPs are dynamic workflow engines. Skills are like a more user focused and slimmed down version of MCPs.

It'd be interesting to see a comparison of a well written MCP compared to a skill in terms of task competency.

Ahhhh. I see now.

Now that you mention it, i can see a future where claude may offer a "skills" feature and codex offers a "talent" feature. where they are essentially the same things, but specific to that vendor.

reminds me how each cloud has the same offerings but different products.

Codex added skills support recently. It appears to work exactly the same as Claude Code.
