The approach works by scanning node_modules for skill files and writing references into an agents.md file via an LLM prompt. Key criticisms include: the install command relies on a non-deterministic LLM, skills don't auto-update when packages change, the agents.md approach pollutes project config and can fall out of sync, and malicious packages could inject harmful skill definitions. An alternative approach is proposed: directly reference skill files inside node_modules from your agent's settings file (demonstrated with the Pyi editor), bypassing the need for TanStack Intent entirely while keeping skills in sync with the actual source of truth. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
