This talk explores how to effectively guide AI agents when they interact with complex products like Superbase. It argues that while agents are capable of many tasks, they require specific guidance to handle novel situations, security protocols, and optimized workflows. The presentation introduces the concept of "skills" as a method to provide this guidance, demonstrating how they improve agent performance and safety, particularly when integrated with tool-calling capabilities.

This talk explores how to improve AI agent performance through the use of skills, which are essentially structured folders containing instructions and files for running workflows or providing custom information. The speaker, Pedro Rodrigues from Supabase, details the process of creating, testing, and automating the evaluation of these skills, emphasizing their role in enhancing agent capabilities within products like Supabase. The core idea is to leverage skills for progressive disclosure, allowing agents to access information only when needed, thereby optimizing context window usage.
