Hallmark Architecture: How Do You Stop Designs From Looking 'AI-Generated' — With a Prompt?
Hallmark is Together AI’s anti-AI-slop design skill. It ships almost no executable code — its entire intelligence lives in 106 markdown files. This piece dissects the SKILL.md router and its progressive context loading, the narrowing decision pipeline, and — at its center — the 58 slop-test gates, contrasting it with skill-injecting projects like Superpowers and SkillSpector.
Analyzing SkillSpector: How Do You Check Whether an Agent Skill Is Safe?
SkillSpector is NVIDIA's security scanner for AI agent skills. It vets a skill before install to find prompt injection, data exfiltration, and malicious code. We analyze its structure — a LangGraph map-reduce graph that fans out to 25 analyzers (static patterns, AST, taint, YARA, MCP, LLM semantics) and reduces them to a single risk score — against Superpowers and ponytail, which inject skills.
Analyzing ponytail: How Does a Skill That Makes Agents "Write Less Code" Ship to 16 Agents?
ponytail packs a single discipline — the "lazy senior dev" laziness ladder — into one SKILL.md and ships it to 16 agents via every mechanism (skill, hook, command, MCP, plugin), proving a ~54% code cut with a real agentic benchmark. We analyze it against Superpowers, and the idea that a skill is a bundle of discipline, distribution, and measurement rather than code.
Analyzing Qwen Code: How Far Has a Terminal Coding Agent Become a Platform?
Qwen Code is a TypeScript-based coding agent that bundles a terminal CLI, an LLM provider abstraction, a tool scheduler, MCP, Skills, Subagents, the qwen serve daemon, channel plugins, and IDE integration into a single repository. We analyze how it reconstructs a Claude Code-style experience on top of Qwen/DashScope, multiple providers, and an extensible agent runtime.
Claude Code Game Studios Architecture Analysis: Running Claude Code Like a Game Development Studio
An analysis of how Claude Code Game Studios combines 49 agents, 72 skills, hooks, rules, and templates to run a single Claude Code session like a game development studio.
Using Superpowers: Changing How I Work with Agents
An analysis of Superpowers — a skill library that injects disciplined development practices like TDD, debugging, brainstorming, and code review into AI coding agents — covering its architecture and design philosophy.
