Google engineers break down a product-style pipeline for shipping agent skills
rseroter · x · 2026-10-30
Google's rseroter shares how his team approaches agent skills like a platform product, with Remik Samborski detailing the engineering effort. The attached decision tree: for a new skill capability, if exact steps must not vary, use Markdown instructions in SKILL.md; if judgment is needed, check whether a remote MCP tool covers it — reference the MCP tool if yes, otherwise write a script under scripts/. It turns skill-building into software engineering with clear architectural boundaries.
