In my experience, a skill is better suited for this instead of an MCP.
If you don’t want the agent to probe the CLI when it needs it, a skill can describe the commands, arguments and flags so the agent can use them as needed.
For Jira/Confluence, I also struggled with their MCPs. JIRA’s MCPs was hit or miss and Confluence never worked for me.
We don’t use the cloud versions, so not sure if they work better with cloud.
On the other hand, i found some unofficial CLIs for both and they work great.
I wrote a small skill just to give enough detail about how to format Epics, Stories, etc and then some guidance on formatting content and I can get the agent do anything i need with them.
This is interesting. I wrote a “memory indexer” with the idea to provide a tool (cli) for my agent to “remember” past conversations we had in other session. A little bit in the spirit of your second tool I think
I can solve the cube with the regular “easy” 3-layer approach, but I’d like to solve it faster.
The issue is that the techniques for fast solving require to learn many different patterns to get to the right solution fast.
I don’t know really how ppl that solve it fast accomplish getting to that level, but to me it would be amazing if i could just set the cube in know scrambled states that let me practice and memorize specific algorithms repeatedly until I learn them.
The problem is that I don’t know enough yet to distinguish which are those initial states, let alone setting the cube in that state, so something that could set it up for me to practice would be amazing
Maybe this may help. What if we are not talking internal development teams but something different, like a commercial/public API?
In those cases you cannot affort or expect to have meetings with folks to explian and communicate, and you also can appreciate more the abuse (unintended or not) that tokens can have.
I particularly liked that OP mentioned about expiration, key rotation and more advanced features you can achieve with his proposal, like switching schemes
I think the issue here is that sanctions require usually time to really take effect. The government is already installed by the time they come. The dictators and their cronies are shielded and live lo comfortably.
The population is either brainwashed or brutally repressed when it complains (particularly eliminating leaders).
It’s hard to make a case for sanctions as the solution as there are plenty of counter examples: Cuba has been heavily sanctioned for over half a century and little has changed no matter how dire the situation gets.
I wish they worked for sure, because what other resources you have against a nuclear power?
Edit to add: also, sanctions have exceptions (usually to shielding the sanctioning countries from suffering consequences, as in this case with Russia and the energy related transactions, with the effect of keep that money flowing for Russia).
And these tyrants workaround the sanctions in many cases with the help of other nations.
