In the 2010s, if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS), you had to either rely on a skilled colleague or just hope that the answer to your exact problem was out there on the internet. Today, everyone can write sort-of-okay CSS by delegating the task to an LLM. LLMs make everybody into a generalist.
LLM-generated skills work, if you generate them afterwards
LLM “skills” are a short explanatory prompt for a particular task, typically bundled with helper scripts. A recent paper showed that while skills are useful to LLMs, LLM-authored skills are not. From the abstract:
How To Write With An LLM

Fight fire with pedantry
Over the last two years, I’ve heard a bunch of speculation about how to design a programming language specifically for an LLM. It usually centers around typechecking, formal verifiability, or context engineering. It’s a fun thought experiment, but always felt aimless. First, my experience has been that designing for humans is the best way to design for an LLM, as long as you restrict yourself to text. Second, being in-distribution is so critical that there’s no point unless you’re also training a frontier coding model.
