The post breaks down its seven core architectural building blocks: Tools (native callable functions), Plugins (installable extension packages bundling multiple components), Agents (sub-workers for parallel or sequential task delegation), MCP Servers (external service integrations via the Model Context Protocol), Profiles (saved configuration snapshots for different projects or roles), Hooks (event-driven shell commands for automation and security), and Skills (reusable markdown-based instruction playbooks). Each concept is explained with analogies, key traits, and how they interconnect to form a composable, extensible AI workflow system. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
