Maintenance nightmares. Scripts that worked yesterday fail today because a button moved or a CSS class changed. The New Paradigm: Learning by Observation What if AI agents could learn the same way humans do—by watching and imitating? SkillForge makes this possible. Here's how: Record yourself performing any web-based task AI extracts the workflow, understanding goals and context Generate a SKILL.md file describing the capability Deploy to any compatible agent framework The AI doesn't just record clicks—it understand
