Skills can contain scripts, making them a lot more versatile than just a document.

Of course any LLM can write any script based on a document, but that's not very deterministic.

A good example is Anthropic's PDF creator skill. It has the basic english instructions as well as actual Python code to generate PDFs

This strikes me as entirely logical in the short run, and an insane way of packaging software that we will certainly regret in the long run.

"Just a document" can certainly contain a script or code or whatever.

How is this different from a README.md with a code block?

>>gitgud+o9
The code block isn't an executable script?

Of course, but the agent can't run a code block in a readme.

It _can_ run a PEP723 script without any specific setup (as long as uv and python are installed). It will automatically create a virtual environment AND install all dependencies. All with a single command without polluting the context with tons of setup.
