Agent Skills today consist largely of free-form prose requiring the agent to read, interpret, and re-derive how to act in every session. This imposes two compounding costs: reduced reliability on implementation-heavy tasks, and difficulty in skill creation and improvement, since editing prose is a fragile process that both humans and agents struggle with, particularly for domain-specific procedural knowledge underrepresented in model training.
