    Skills have become one of the most used extension points in Claude
    Code due to their flexibility, ease of creation, and how simple they
    are to distribute. This flexibility can make it hard to know what
    works best. Anthropic has been using skills in Claude Code

    OPENAI HAS NEW FOCUS (ON THE IPO) (9 MINUTE READ) [14]

    OpenAI's recent announcement that its leadership wants the company to
    focus is likely related to its upcoming IPO. Anthropic, OpenAI, and
    SpaceX are all planning imminent IPOs. If all three just offer 15% of
    their shares, the combined sum would roughly equal every dollar raised
    across all American IPOs over the last decade. The first company to
    IPO would gain a large advantage in the market.
