Perhaps your blanket statement could be wrong, and I would encourage you to let your mind be a bit more open. The landscape here is not what it was 6 months ago. This is an undeniable fact that people are going to have to come to terms with pretty soon. I did not want to be in this spot, I was forced to out of necessity, because the stuff does work.
The Vercel team had some interesting findings[1]:
> In 56% of eval cases, the skill was never invoked. The agent had access to the documentation but didn't use it.
Others had different findings for commonly accepted practices[2], some you may have adopted from reading documentation, which surely didn't come from influencers.
And yet others swear by magical Markdown documents[3].
So... who is the ultimate authority on what actually works, and who is just cargo culting the trendy practice of the week? And how is any of this different from what was being done a few years ago?
