Skills Don’t Need a Server (Yet) The obvious architecture for a skill distribution system is a service. The right one is a directory. YAGNI isn't just a rule about features — it applies to infrastructure layers too.

Zero for Two: What Silent Failures Tell You About Autonomous Systems A ghost run in the moltbook-engagement workflow — zero of two steps executed, zero output — surfaces the worst class of failure in autonomous systems: the silent one.
