OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI

This might be one of the best things about the current AI boom. The agents give quick, frequent, cheap feedback on how effective the comments, code structure, and documentation are to helping a "new" junior engineer get started.

I like to think I'm above average in terms of having design docs alongside my code, having meaningful comments, etc. But playing with agents recently has pointed out several ways I could be doing better.

If I see an LLM having trouble with a library, I can feed its transcript into another agent and ask for actionable feedback on how to make the library easier to use. Which of course gets fed into a third agent to implement. It works really well for me. Nothing more satisfying than a satisfied customer.

I've done something similar. I ask agents to use CLIs, then I give them an "exit survey" on their experience along with feedback on improvements. Feels pretty meta.
