Auto-switching across model providers basically concedes the model layer is commodity, which I think is right (1)

tbd whether the skill registry develops network effects or just stays a flat directory. Portable skills as APIs tracks with the broader pattern of agent stacks decomposing into specialized swappable layers, where the defensible asset is whatever process knowledge orgs encode, not the deployment infra.

I agree on the commodity point, that's why I went multi-model from start.

The registry question is the one I'm thinking about the most. Right now it's flat. I plan to integrate usage data (success rates, cost, trust scores). So the registry tells you which skills actually work well, and that's valuable.

Your article looks interesting, I'll read it.
