Chrome engineering lead Addy Osmani open-sourced Agent Skills, a pack of 24 skills that teach coding agents the workflows senior engineers follow. The repo is currently trending on GitHub and has picked up over 75,000 stars since February. With one command, it installs into 70+ agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Copilot.
How owning AI deployment expands your career
Across product, ops, and CX teams, a new kind of role is taking shape: the person responsible for making AI actually work, day to day.

Sakana AI released Fugu-Cyber, a cybersecurity focused version of its Fugu AI system. It works as a multi agent orchestration system behind one API, assigns different security tasks to specialized AI agents: Sakana AI reports that Fugu-Cyber is hitting an 86.9% success rate on the CyberGym benchmark and 72.1% on CTI-REALM. That puts its performance right in the same league as frontier models like GPT-5.5-Cyber and Mythos Preview.

WebMCP lets web pages register typed JavaScript functions that browser AI agents can call. While there is strong industry support behind the spec, site adoption is close to zero. No mainstream agent consumes the tools yet, but Google says Gemini in Chrome will be the first. The API changed locations in a recent draft, which means early adopters already carry migration debt.
You'll learn how to slash token costs while using AI coding agents. The tutorial walks through setting up four tools: RTK for trimming command outputs, Headroom for compressing chat history, Ponytail for writing more concise code, and Graphy for quickly mapping out projects for the AI.

AI News:
White House science and tech chief Michael Kratsios accused China’s Moonshot AI of using distillation to train its Kimi K3 AI, saying it siphoned from Anthropic’s Fable 5 — coming just as Moonshot gears up to open source K3’s weights. Kratsios said Moonshot disguised the distillation by constantly switching how it reached U.S. models, and also got hold of advanced Nvidia chips via Thailand.

Travis Kalanick's robotics company, Atoms, has raised $1.7 billion in a funding round joined by Uber, reconnecting Kalanick back with the company he founded. Atoms is a rebranded holding company created from a ghost kitchen project Kalanick has been working on since he resigned from Uber.
OpenAI is coming for Effingham County, Georgia. The AI leader is building a data center campus, named Project Camellia, within the Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub, about 45 minutes outside of Savannah. OpenAI is committing $20 billion to the project in order to qualify for a local incentive package, which would be the first data center its designing and building itself.

How to let Claude record your screen and upload as a skill
You don’t need to build a Claude skill from scratch. Just record your screen while doing the task, and Claude can turn it into a reusable skill. Here is how:
Download or update the Claude desktop app for Mac.
Open Cowork inside the Claude app.
Click the + button near the message box.
Select Record a skill.
Allow Claude to access your screen, mouse, keyboard, and microphone.
Click Start recording.
Complete the task as you normally would. Speak while you work so Claude understands why you are taking each step.
Click Done when you finish.
Claude will study the recording and create a suggested skill.
Read the instructions Claude created, then click Save. You can also edit or reject the skill before saving it.
A recording session can take up to 10 minutes
