Presumably, like all things, skills will just become increasingly complex until generating them requires architectural understanding. Also I’m sure there are sufficiently nontechnical people who would be happy to pay $5 for something that just works.

That said, I do think it’s hard to see myself paying for skills. It feels like something that lends itself to OSS

Meanwhile, the AI labs are saying with the models getting smarter skills etc should be less verbose and just let the model do the thinking.

Fair

Yes there definitely are.

Yeah, HN isn't going to be your target market by and large -- this is the home of the folks that would, at most, pull up a page describing a skill and dump it into a harness.

I wouldn't take that as fatal. Most people aren't HN people.

I thought the same when someone promoted their platform for selling image prompts here on HN, but now they have at least 100k sales. I guess there will always be people willing to pay for something if it takes even the slightest bit of effort.
