Episode Details

What's really happening with codex plugins, skills, prompts, and MCPs as agents start doing real work? The common story is that plugins are just app store add-ons — but the reality is more complicated.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on the agentic scaffolding that actually makes AI useful:

• Why prompts work for one-offs but break under repeated workflows

• How skills encode your house style across any LLM you use

• What plugins package up and why they're bigger than MCPs

• Where hooks, scripts, and connectors fit inside the larger system

For operators and builders, the leverage in 2026 lives in knowing which part of your workflow belongs in a prompt, a skill, a plugin, or an MCP — and packaging the right ones so your team can actually reuse them.
