It's not about giving hints to agents because they wouldn't find it out otherwise. It's about saving the work of them having to find out. Good skills files save tokens.
- mpalmer 27d agoHaving too many skills files increase tokens even when they don't get fully read. It's a fine line.
- nextaccountic 27d agoThat's why you need to curate and adapt the skills for your specific project. That is, don't blindly accumulate skills downloaded from the web
- listingbott 27d agoHow do you actually measure the token savings? Do you compare the same task with and without the skill, or is it more of a noticeable difference over time?
- sejje 27d agoBy watching them get it the first time, instead of watching them hit 10 locations before finding it.
- mathgeek 27d agoBoth, in a way. In order to be sure it's the skill reducing token usage, you measure it with and without the skill, and then you do that periodically to account for all the other variables. Alternatively, you pick a belief based on prior evidence from either approach you mentioned, which is the natural thing that many of us do.
