For me Claude Skills is just a proof that we're making RAG unnecessary difficult to use. Not tech wise, but UX wise. But if we can fix that, the need for Claude Skills will go away.

Where Claude Skills is better than MCP? It's easier to produce a Claude SKills. It's just text. Everyone can write it. But it's dependant on the environment alot. Eg: when you need to have certain tools available for it to work. How do you automate sandbox setup with that? Even that, are you sure it's the right version for it to use, etc...
