Notable Trends
The skills arms race goes corporate. Google (stitch-skills), OpenAI (codex-plugin-cc), Microsoft (SkillOpt, from July 8), and NVIDIA (SkillSpector) all now have skin in agent skills. Community repos set the standard (superpowers at 252k); Big Tech is building on top. Skills are becoming the next platform battleground.
Infrastructure > wrappers. This week's new entries are dominated by plumbing: sandboxing (CubeSandbox), routing (OmniRoute), multiplexing (herdr), fleet management (orca). The "wrapper around GPT" era is over — the market wants pipes, not another chatbot.
