Yeah, I am very open to skills and REST APIs, but REST APIs have an issue where the token gets injected, and so it's not really a good auth story for everyone. I think that skills have a feedback problem: how do you refine your skill that you've shipped to your customers? The suggestion you are giving isn't great for something like the ChatGPT or Claude iOS app. Where would you even store the token in that case, for example?

I wrote this piece to share my view about what cursor should do to manage some of the negative sentiment they’re getting online. What do you folks think?

For me it's not about difficulty, it's about friction. BJ Fogg's behavioral model B=MAP says Behavior = Motivation × Ability × Prompt. When you increase ability (lower friction), you get more behavior for the same motivation.

AI lowers my writing friction. Same motivation, more output. I write more, I get feedback faster, I iterate more. That's the value for me.
