MCP & Skills

The LLM can act on your systems, not just think about them.

🛠️
Capability without feedback → capability with validation

🎯 WHAT CHANGES BY THE END

You'll be able to wire a custom MCP into your workflow, build a skill that validates its own output, and know your token cost per session well enough to budget it.

🙋 THIS IS YOU IF

  • ✓Multiple MCPs wired into your agent: filesystem, database, CI, at least
  • ✓Custom skills built for your team's recurring workflows, not just one-offs
  • ✓Your PR review skill runs linters and pattern checks automatically
  • ✓The agent has access to systems it can use to validate its own output

💡 WHAT WE'LL UNTANGLE

  • The agent can act on your systems, but it still can't tell whether what it did was correct
  • You're the only feedback loop. Every error surfaces to you before it gets fixed
  • Nothing lets the agent test, catch its own failures, and iterate without you watching
