Wow, that's some brilliant vendor lock in on Anthropic's side.

    Not that good. Claude skills are cross-compatible with Cursor, and probably other options.

    Still good, cos it's locking in to AI in general, but not quite a specific vendor lock-in.

    The modern take of a disturbed idiom is "There is more than one way to microwave a cat!" (disclaimer please don't actually do this).

    At or near the bottom of complexity you would think it hard to fuck up "compress this directory and verify they are backed up before deleting the originals" but apparently some of these models have a RNG triggered Uno reverse card so "delete the originals, verify they are backed up, and compress this directory". Also that wasn't a mistake, maybe Claude will infer "they" is a specific set of files, but another model might decide you meant all the dot files at ~/?

    Joking aside, the devil is in the details which makes me think even more time will be sunk finding out the RC Cola bottom shelf AI model does things just a bit too differently than Claude.
