Is it that diff from code as a service? It’s human intent transcribed into something useful.

I lol'd so hard at this comment that it hurt.

You periodically pay a fee that gives you the right to use a licensed markdown file, in the same way you can rent movies or fonts.

When you stop paying but keep using the skill, that’s called pirating.

It could be added to context only on the inference server, with the model heavily instructed not to repeat its contents. Not foolproof, obviously.

depending on what the skill does, it can be a whole collection of python/other code files, resource files (i.e., js libs, css/html templates) and markdown files with orchestration instructions

Does anyone actually care about what IBM's skill files say?

Not an IBMer, but IBM MQ and Sterling Connect:Direct are both solid, I use them daily and they work wonderfully, although they can be a real bitch to set up and use in certain scenarios.

No, you are wrong. IBMer here. I was at first agains it, my background is for 2 decades startup(s) before I joined IBM, and I started slowly using IBM Bob and I must say it is really good and helping. With many integrations that works :)

I wish you study the Wikipedia page, please. it's a very old company and we have invented really cool stuff.
