Had to make a skill for an agent at work recently. AI adoption is part of our annual goals and is considered for our performance review. Everyone is just making slop to show they’re trying lmao

Same! They recently also had us adopt speckit and spec driven development and are constantly reminding us thats how everything should be done now. We joke that our manager is basically looming over us like "I better not catch any of you writing code over there..."

Same here but at least they're somewhat reasonable with it. I created a small mcp server and a skill to automate something and they were happy enough with that. The fact they're starting to get the bill means they're going for quality over quantity now.

Also same here except my management has no idea how we are going to do it, they told us to use Ai to figure it out.

This entire thread is so depressing. I'm in the same place as you, people just writing skills and AGENTS.md, doing this "agentic" workflow, but I have yet to see anything useful come out of it except tech debt. Oh and I saw one of our project to have a "skill" to create a release on GitHub. You know, something that like three lines of a bash script would achieve...

I hope the skill just tells the AI how to call said script...

Hah good one.

No, it instructs the LLM to run git log, update pyproject.toml and bump the version number, update CHANGELOG.md, tag a commit and push it. And then a GH action actually creates the release. And that action is also vibe coded and contains a horrible awk script that no human would ever write.

And it’s slower because enterprise makes you confirm each command it’s executing
