agent skill — A reusable instruction file that teaches an agent how to do one job well — the procedure, the tools, and what counts as done.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
Agents fail quietly on full screen programs because they read the byte stream instead of the rendered screen. Snapshotting the screen state is the fix.
