Frontiers: skills.md and beyond
Frontiers: Iasi is a monthly gathering for people who want to get their hands dirty with emerging technology instead of just talking about it.
skills.md and the Rise of Programmable Intelligence
There’s a shift happening if you’re paying attention.
Tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex are no longer just assistants.
They are becoming systems that write, test, debug, and ship code.
But the real unlock is not the model.
It’s everything around it.
We’re entering the era of:
These define what the model knows, how it behaves, what it can do, and how it recovers when it breaks.
Without this layer, you have a smart model.
With it, you have something closer to a junior engineer that does not sleep.
In this session we explore a simple idea:
The future of programming is not just writing code.
It is designing systems that write and evolve code for you.
As is the Frontiers tradition, we'll cover:
Introduction to agent harnesses and 'programming' the intelligence
skills.md usage in production with real world examples
open (but focused!) Q&A
