Skills Ate My Agents (And I'm Okay With That)

Generative AI

I was showing off my system to colleagues. Eighteen specialized agents, each a craftsman at their job: one for git operations, one for PRs, one for Slack notifications, one for Jenkins diagnostics, one for Maven tests. I’d named them, written their AGENT.md files, built their CHANGELOG.md evolution histories. Cairn - my persistent AI orchestrator - coordinated them like a conductor with a full orchestra.
