@skinnylatte I feel like this is so missing the opportunity.
If the agent isn't working well, improve the docs for humans first, and wire them in to the agent through tooling.

@aburka @aly @skinnylatte I read a random project's skills.md yesterday and was like "Why do the robots get better documentation than we do?"

@skinnylatte People are difficult, machines are easy*. All squishy and sweaty, with different education backgrounds and different levels of English, god forbid other languages. Who would ever want to cater to them?
Why yes, I work in documentation, why do you ask?
*Machines are also difficult. We just pretend they're not.

If the agent isn't working well, take the CEO that purchased it out back and shoot them.

@skinnylatte Look, this is the only way that management will fund improving documentation at all.

@skinnylatte Same thing with APIs. Stuff that previously couldnβt get an interface for whatever reason: Adding an MCP-Interface is suddenly possible.

@skinnylatte Documentation is a fine art requiring patience, people skills and a deep understanding of what you are documenting. Rarely, it seems, is that understood by decision makers.

Someone objected to βdudesβ, apparently itβs sexist so Iβll just leave this here.
In California, everything and everyone is a dude
EDIT: i don't think there can be sexism towards men in tech. that's a bit like all of the reverse racism people.

Dude? Dude. Dude!
Add a Californian, I can attest that the above is a complete and meaningful conversation.

the rest of the world isn't California
I moved to California, but it's just a state of mind
It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself, that's not a lie -
@spacehobo @skinnylatte except this really isn't true outside the US and it's just another case of American exceptionalism to use the excuse of "actually over here it's neutral" instead of apologizing

@skinnylatte we are all united in a great web of dude-hood, all made of the same dude-stuff, on this great spinning rock we call dude.

Nowadays I tend to call everyone "Honey"
