Skills vs Dynamic MCP Loadouts

Read Original

Armin Ronacher discusses moving from MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool definitions to a 'skills' system for LLM agents. He explains the limitations of static and even deferred tool loading in MCP, contrasting it with a skills-based approach where the agent is given summaries and references instead of full tool definitions, leading to better performance and less engineering overhead.
