Skilz: The Universal Package Manager for AI Skills The AI coding assistant ecosystem is booming, with tools like Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Aider, Windsurf, Forge, and Zed AI all vying for developers’ attention. Yet a fundamental problem persists: no standardized method exists for installing and managing the specialized agents and agent skills. Each platform presents its own unique workflow, ranging from manual file copying to proprietary marketplaces or agent-specific plugin commands. This fragmented experience makes it difficult to replicate setups across machines, teams, and tools. Skilz solves this problem with a simple but powerful idea: Treat AI skills like software packages. Think pip install or npm install, but for AI agents. And if your tool doesn’t natively support skills, give it the prompts to do so.

As Generative AI evolves, so do our usage patterns. In my latest essay, Writing with AI (https://lnkd.in/g3Gvg98z), I talk about my experience, and share a process that's helped me improve my own writing. I've seen three common types of articles on this topic - cold prompting, idea generation, and copy-editing. I think this process fills a middle, uses tried and true writing patterns, but with a different partner. There's a few tips, a few deeper reflections, and my own experiences mixed in. #GenerativeAI #Writing #Creativity #FutureOfWork #ContentCreation

We found a way to make workers more productive and the largest companies decided they had no clue what to do with that. Maybe they should ask an AI tool….

I made an explorable esoteric research environment with a Custodian named MERIDIAN that can launch its own agent swarms to solve problems. Does isopsephic arithmetic and lookup for any Neoplatonists :-) https://lnkd.in/gYzqVn7m

Excited to share that WEKA's NeuralMesh AI Data Platform is now generally available! Built on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform, it helps organizations take AI factories from proof-of-concept to production in minutes instead of months. Check it out: http://spr.ly/6043B6rGbJ

🚨 Breaking: A New Era for Multi-Agent AI Has Arrived 🚨 Today, Microsoft is formalizing our partnership with Google around Agent2Agent (A2A) to contribute to and advance the protocol, including interoperability with Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio. 🔗 Meet Agent2Agent (A2A) — an open protocol coming soon to Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot Studio that empowers agents to securely communicate, coordinate, and act across platforms, clouds, and organizational boundaries. In the past 4 months alone, 10,000+ organizations adopted Azure’s Agent Service. Now, with A2A, we're unlocking a future where agents don't just act — they collaborate. Why this matters: ✅ Open, interoperable agent ecosystems ✅ Real-world use with Semantic Kernel, LangChain, and more ✅ Enterprise-grade trust: Entra, mTLS, content safety, and audit logging ✅ Control, visibility, and scale — without vendor lock-in This is not just an update—it’s the infrastructure for the next generation of software design. We’re contributing to the A2A spec on GitHub and pushing forward the open agentic ecosystem. Let’s build agents that think, act, and evolve—together. 🔍 Learn more and get started: https://msft.it/6047SVxQZ #AI #AgenticAI #A2A #Microsoft #AzureAI #CopilotStudio #SemanticKernel #LangChain #MultiAgentSystems #Interoperability #OpenStandards #FutureOfWork #msftadvocate

"Vibe coding" transforms development, but can it handle enterprise rigor? I will be speaking at Google Cloud Next '26 alongside Google Cloud colleagues Oana Ionel and praveen killamsetti. Join us to explore how Gemini Cloud Assist and Antigravity agents bridge the gap in the world of AI Agents. We will demonstrate a complete lifecycle where Platform Engineers publish "Catalogs" of approved modules, allowing Developers to build intent-driven applications. You will see Cloud Assist analyze code to propose compliant infrastructure, automate IAM, remediate deployment failures, and generate CI/CD pipelines. This approach unifies velocity with governance, helping teams to stop fighting over tickets and start shipping with context. Explore the session library here: https://lnkd.in/dSzuNgHA.
