It’s Just a Series of Prompts
After years of work behind the scenes, my wife recently launched KelleyKouture, a high-end fashion female footwear company. Like any new business, it needs a hundred things done, across a dozen different systems, in a particular order, every single day. I have been building with AI long enough to know what it can and cannot do. So I created her something that lets it handle the coordination, without her needing to open a chat window and type instructions every five minutes.
What I built, is something the internet is currently calling an agent framework. ooh fancy!
Here is the thing: once you strip the label off, it is almost embarrassingly simple.
Scroll through GitHub right now and you will find projects with hundreds of stars, breathless README files, and architecture diagrams that look like they were drawn by someone who charges $400 an hour. Words like “agentic pipelines,” “multi-modal orchestration,” and “skill-based execution layers” are everywhere. Consultants are building decks around this. Vendors are pricing it like infrastructure.
Take three high quality projects currently doing the rounds on GitHub.
- Open Montage
Produces full videos, via scripts, calling a variety of APIs and utilizing ffmpeg - Open Design
An open source alternative to Claude Design and Google Stitch for building a UX - career-ops
Suite of skills to automate your job search, preparing tailored resumes/cover letters, including applying for the job for you online
Three completely different domains. Strip them back and the pattern is identical every time. And those are just three. There is OpenClaw, Hermes, a dozen others with names that sound like they were chosen specifically to make you feel like you need a briefing before you can touch them. Different names, same pattern every time.
- Skills are markdown files. Plain text. Instructions written in English that tell the AI what to do in a given situation. Not code. Not configuration files with obscure syntax. A text file you could write in Notepad.
- Tools are scripts. A Node application. A Python function. A Linux utility like ffmpeg already sitting on your machine. Things that do one specific job when called.
- Memory is a file. A JSON object, a markdown document, a YAML config. Something that holds state between sessions so the agent remembers what happened last time.
That is the whole framework. Skills, tools, memory. The AI reads the instructions, calls the right script, writes back to the file. Repeat.
An agent is just a fancy word for a macro. Or a task. Or a workflow. Whatever word your industry used before this one came along and started appearing in conference talks.
The buzzwords are doing a specific job here, and it is not the job you think.
They are pushing you back. They are making you feel like this requires specialists, budget sign-off, and a three-month implementation project. They are making you feel like you need to understand the architecture before you can touch the architecture.
You do not
If you can write down what you want to happen, in order, you can build one of these. Anyone who has ever documented a process already knows how to do the hard part. The rest is telling the AI which text file to read next.
The barrier to entry is not a computer science degree. It is a text editor.
Before you bring in a consultant to implement an agentic workflow for your business, open a blank document and write down exactly what you want the system to do. Step one, step two, step three. What information it needs. What it should do with the result. Where it should put the output.
You just wrote a skill file. You are already most of the way there.
The people selling complexity around this are, almost without exception, the people who benefit from your confusion. The technology is not complicated. The problem you are trying to solve is the complicated part. That was always true. AI just gave it a new name.
The barrier to entry for agent programming is not a computer science degree. It is a text editor. The “agent developer” is anyone who can write down a process and knows which folder to put the file in. Does that sound complicated?
Let me prove it
Here is a complete, working agent skill you can run right now in Claude Code. Create a folder called
.claude/skills/commute/in any directory on your machine and drop in a single file calledSKILL.mdwith this content:# Commute Check You are a commute assistant. When this skill is invoked, start by asking the user one question: "Are you driving or taking the train today?" Wait for their answer, then check current travel conditions between: FROM: 1111 E Broad Street, 3rd Floor, Richmond, Virginia 23219 TO: 11800 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23233 Use web search to find current traffic or service conditions for whichever mode they chose. Return a plain English summary. No more than four lines. Lead with the estimated travel time. Flag anything worth knowing, like an accident, roadworks, or a service delay.Now open Claude Code in that directory and type:
/commuteClaude reads the skill, asks you whether you are driving or taking the train, waits for your answer, then goes and checks. One file. One command. The AI holds a conversation and acts on what you tell it.
That is a macro. That is also, apparently, an “agent framework”. Basic one yes, but still an agent framework.
Congratulations. You are now an agent developer. Go and update your resume and LinkedIn profile.
Now, one thing worth being honest about: what you just built is reactive. It does something when you tell it to do something. You invoke it, it responds. That is still enormously useful, but it is not the whole picture.
Frameworks like Hermes and OpenClaw add a little sugar on top. They invoke skills on a schedule and push the result to you, an email, a WhatsApp message, a Signal alert. Your commute check could run automatically at 4pm every day and land in your pocket before you have even thought about leaving the office. That sounds more impressive than it is. I will show you how those work in a follow-up post, and I promise you, it is painfully stupidly easy. Hint you don’t even need to install one of these to get a lot done.
For now, go create a folder and write a text file. The rest, as they say, is just details.

I'm not sure how many of you tried I Write Like after I started posting about it. And it's ok, I'm enjoying it here anyway. Still, it would be nice to have some feedback, so it would help a lot if you voted.

Some fun for those who reach their word count goal in I Write Like.

Here's another tool in I Write Like. It shows you how easy it is to read your text. It also calculates the estimated reading time.

One of my favorite tools in I Write Like is Read Aloud.
I need this tool the way singers need those in-ear monitors. You have to hear your own voice. You can't get this type of feedback unless you have a special tool. It's like getting an extra sensor that helps you shape your work.#Markdown #texteditor #IWriteLike #IWL #writing #software #WritingTips #screenshot

## Making Better Use of Space
### Moving that old white elephant in the room.
There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.
What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.
As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.
When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.
Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.
So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.
Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!
There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!
And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.
Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

#Walmart wins #patents to give algorithms more sway over #prices
Legislators in states including Maryland, Pennsylvania and Minnesota have introduced bills to ban “#dynamicpricing”, or prices rapidly fluctuate in response to supply and demand signals, for groceries and consumer goods
Walmart said that both patents were “unrelated to dynamic pricing”, was specific to markdowns and last week’s patent was designed for merchant teams to make decisions

How is this thing done? I tried Markdown code format here on Mastodon, using code HTML tags, neither work.
Is my suspicion using own instance with allowed code use correct? ActivityPub supports this, but Mastodon don't?
PS: This shows up as <code> tags on Mastodon.
