That's a fair comment. I sorta feel you're describing my thesis, "shrink the stochastic, grow the deterministic" is the point. Where we differ, maybe, is what the deterministic part is made of.

The problem I'm trying to solve for me is a step removed. The agent is the one writing the script, and I want it to run unattended against my systems every morning. I can't let it write and run bash. Even though my agent lives in a container (NanoClaw), I still need it to reach out to other systems. Github, my other servers, MCPs, etc.

Skillscript is how I let it reach out without holding the keys. It can invoke a skillscript that hits GitHub, but it never runs the raw command or holds the token itself. The runtime holds the credential and only lets it through the skillscript I approved.

It's fair to say a skillscript basically is your two bash scripts and an LLM call, but fenced in.
