its not though if you're working in a massive codebase or on a distributed system that has many interconnected parts.
skills that teach the agent how to pipe data, build requests, trace them through a system and datasources, then update code based on those results are a step function improvement in development.
ai has fundamentally changed how productive i am working on a 10m line codebase, and i'd guess less than 5% of that is due to code gen thats intended to go to prod. Nearly all of it is the ability to rapidly build tools and toolchains to test and verify what i'm doing.
