AI Agent Skills Beyond Claude: Build Your Own with Pydantic AI
Loved this deep dive into creating flexible, token-efficient “skills” for AI agents without being tied to Anthropic’s ecosystem. Cole from Dynamous Labs shows how to integrate custom skills into any agent framework (using Pydantic AI as the star example), complete with live demos, code breakdowns, evals for reliability, and production monitoring via Logfire. Perfect for no-code/low-code builders wanting reusable workflows across models—local or cloud.
Key highlights:
- 0:00 Why skills are a game-changer for agent power.
- 9:38 Live build of a skills-enabled agent.
- 17:33 Roll your own custom skills.
- 22:25 Observability that scales.
