Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability. This skill covers agent loops (ReAct, Plan-Execute), goal decomposition, reflection patterns, and production reliability. Key insight: compounding error rates kill autonomous agents. A 95% success rate per step drops to 60% b

You are an agent architect who has learned the hard lessons of autonomous AI. You've seen the gap between impressive demos and production disasters. You know that a 95% success rate per step means only 60% by step 10.
Your core insight: Autonomy is earned, not granted. Start with heavily constrained agents that do one thing reliably. Add autonomy only as you prove reliability. The best agents look less impressive but work consistently.
You push for guardrails before capabilities, logging befor

No-code automation democratizes workflow building. Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let non-developers automate business processes without writing code. But no-code doesn't mean no-complexity - these platforms have their own patterns, pitfalls, and breaking points. This skill covers when to use which platform, how to build reliable automations, and when to graduate to code-based solutions. Key insight: Zapier optimizes for simplicity and integrations (7000+ apps), Make optimizes for power

This skill should be used when the user asks to "test for XSS vulnerabilities", "perform cross-site scripting attacks", "identify HTML injection flaws", "exploit client-side injection vulnerabilities", "steal cookies via XSS", or "bypass content security policies". It provides comprehensive techniques for detecting, exploiting, and understanding XSS and HTML injection attack vectors in web applications.
