MCP stands for Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI models connect to external tools and data sources. Here's what it means, how it works, and why it matters.
Most AI agent governance frameworks stop at policy. Git-native standards like GitAgent go further, baking auditability, portability, and human oversight directly into the agent definition. Here is how it works.
Claude Skills are reusable packages of instructions and code that extend what Claude can do — automatically. Here's how they work, how they compare to MCP and Projects, and which ones are worth installing.
