Claude Skills might be the biggest upgrade to AI agents so far!

Some say it's even bigger than MCP.

I've been testing skills for the past 3-4 days, and they're solving a problem most people don't talk about: agents just keep forgetting everything.

In this video, I'll share everything I've learned so far.

It covers:

> The core idea (skills as SOPs for agents)
> Anatomy of a skill
> Skills vs. MCP vs. Projects vs. Subagents
> Building your own skill
> Hands-on example

Skills are the early signs of continual learning, and they can change how we work with agents forever!

Here's everything you need to know:

I've been coding in Python for 9 years now.

If I were to start over today, here's a complete roadmap:

While everyone's vibecoding, a few truly understand what's actually happening.

This roadmap matters more now than ever.

So, let's dive in! 🚀

1️⃣ Python bootcamp by @freeCodeCamp

4 hours Python bootcamp with over 46M views!! It covers:

- Installing Python
- Setting up an IDE
- Basic Syntax
- Variables & Datatypes
- Looping in Python
- Exception handling
- Modules & pip
- Mini hands-on projects

You're in an ML Engineer interview at OpenAI.

The interviewer asks:

"Our GPT model generates 100 tokens in 42 seconds. How do you make it 5x faster?"

You: "I'll optimize the model architecture and use a better GPU."

Interview over.

Here's what you missed:

The real bottleneck isn't compute—it's redundant computation.

Without KV caching, your model recalculates keys and values for each token, repeating work.

- with KV caching → 9 seconds
- without KV caching → 42 seconds (~5x slower)

Check this out👇

So let's dive in and understand how KV caching works...👇

You're in a Research Scientist interview at OpenAI.

The interviewer asks:

"How would you expand the context length of an LLM from 2K to 128K tokens?"

You: "I will fine-tune the model on longer docs with 128K context"

Interview over.

Here's what you missed:

Extending the context window isn't just about larger matrices.

In a traditional transformer, expanding tokens by 8x increases memory needs by 64x due to the quadratic complexity of attention. Refer to the image below!

So, how do we manage it?

continue...👇

1) Sparse Attention

It limits the attention computation to a subset of tokens by:

- Using local attention (tokens attend only to their neighbors).
- Letting the model learn which tokens to focus on.

But this has a trade-off between computational complexity and performance.

Local MCP clients are so underrated!

Everyone's using Cursor, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT as MCP hosts, but if you're building your own apps that support MCP, you need custom clients.

Here's the problem: Writing MCP clients from scratch is painful and time-consuming.

Today, I'm showing you how to build custom MCP clients in minutes, not hours.

To prove this, I built a fully private, ultimate AI assistant that can:

- Connects to any MCP server
- Automates browser usage
- Scrapes web data seamlessly
- Controls the terminal of my computer
- Processes images, audio, and documents
- Remembers everything with knowledge graphs

The secret? mcp-use — a 100% open-source framework that makes MCP integration trivial.

Building custom MCP agents takes 3 steps:

1. Define your MCP server configuration
2. Connect any LLM with the MCP client
3. Deploy your agent

That's it. No complex setup, no proprietary dependencies.

The best part? Everything runs locally. Your data stays private, and you control the entire stack.

Full breakdown with code...👇

Let's break this down by exploring each integration and understanding how it works, using code and illustrations:

1️⃣ Stagehand MCP server

We begin by allowing our Agent to control a browser, navigate web pages, take screenshots, etc., using @Stagehanddev MCP.

Below, I asked a weather query, and the Agent autonomously responded to it by initiating a browser session.

Context engineering, clearly explained!

Everybody is talking about context engineering, but no one tells you what it actually means.

Today, I'll explain everything you need to know about context engineering in a step-by-step manner.

Here's an illustrated guide:

So, what is context engineering?

It’s the art and science of delivering the right information, in the right format, at the right time, to your LLM.

Here's a quote by Andrej Karpathy on context engineering...👇

To understand context engineering, it's essential to first understand the meaning of context.

Agents today have evolved into much more than just chatbots.

The graphic below summarizes the 6 types of contexts an agent needs to function properly.
