    "text": "I had large pieces of code that I was using, maybe some helpers and some other pieces, and I just turned them into a skill. We had that into our product. It was an onboarding from … AI agents. People have … Node.js, all the various things, then they have different tools for packaging, and it is impossible to actually code that. Like it will require a lot of coding. But if I just say a skill says, please first figure out what their package manager is, then figure out what their ecosystem is, and then do these steps together with the user, you know, it … solved a lot more problems that we could ever code.",
