incredible. Uh but then, with this approach, too, we realized that there were some challenges. We realized that context kind of needs to be managed like code. Um so, some challenges. Let's pick skills. Uh dependency management became really complicated. So, for example, we have this competitive intelligence skill, and it learns from the market on what's changing in the market, and it improves. Um it feeds our category positioning skill, which then feeds our sales battle card skill. Uh now, each of these skills is learning and evolving, uh but every time they learn and evolve, it breaks something downstream. Uh and these skills very quickly start getting outdated and start drifting. Uh who owns skill quality became another thing. Like who eventually owns the quality of this? Security and governance was a nightmare. Uh we had secrets hardcoded in .env files. Uh it was People were downloading these public skill repos, this the whole thing was like a nightmare. And then I talked about context portability across all these multi-agent systems.
