The npm Moment for AI Agents Has Arrived

Remember when sharing code meant copying files between computers? Then npm changed everything by creating a standard way to package and distribute JavaScript modules. We're at a similar inflection point for AI agents. The Problem Right now, if you build an AI agent that can book flights, and I build one that can file expense reports, those capabilities are locked in our respective codebases. There's no standard way to share agent skills. Even worse: when you teach an agent to use a website, you're writing brittle automation that breaks when the UI changes.
