And Russia would never invade Ukraine. And Germany could never make it past the Maginot Line

Everything is "good enough until it's not good enough". That's engineering.

Really? That's the only possible conclusion?

Anthropic has _always_ positioned itself as a company that cares about AI safety.

Row level security sounds reasonable. Otherwise I don’t see how full DB access can be safe.

This decision makes a lot of sense from a strategic point of view, right?

Road is much more difficult to destroy than rail

If you had to choose one or the other, especially in a time of war/aggression, road seems to be the clear choice

Eisenhower was a general before becoming President.

Claude CLI has plugins and plugin marketplaces that solve the problem you're describing.

Skills can be about as deterministic. Consider GitHub MCP vs skill for GH CLI.

It might use the view_pr tool, or `gh pr view`, but in the end it's still performing a deterministic action.

The benefit might be that the GH skill can contain more domain specific information about GitHub, and you only pay the context cost when the skill is read.

Personally I generally avoid MCP and have skills for CLIs -- if one doesn't exist, then I author one. For example I have a CLI for Grafana, Discord, Sentry, etc.

No its providing a deterministic output. The action it takes is still not determistic, right, since it can be either of the two options.

I don't see the benefit or even the point of "more domain specific knowledge" in a skill especially for the example you shared.

Claude Code uses gh cli just fine without any skills.

If "fine" is what you need, then ok. It can stumble its way to everything eventually.

With a proper skill it can one-shot even complex commands that require poking to gh api because the basic command set doesn't work. Or it knows how to track a running CI workflow efficiently without having to try three different methods.

Source: I daily drive Claude + gh cli.

IMO it can, about as well as an entry/mid level dev

I’ve also really enjoyed Amazons support agent. Sometimes it can be really helpful.

Yikes, I find it hopeless, just takes me in circles.
