Rohit Ghumare ed6d0c0196 feat: add agent skills track and stateless MCP curriculum (#422)
* feat(phase-13/22): teach portable agent skill contracts

Agent skills need a portable contract before host-specific metadata and runtime policy can be reasoned about.

* fix(phase-13/23): make the ecosystem capstone accurate

The capstone should model current A2A operations, portable artifact metadata, and deterministic trace timing.

* feat(phase-13/24): teach skill discovery and disclosure

A useful skill catalog needs explicit scope precedence and bounded progressive disclosure before instructions are loaded.

* feat(phase-13/25): teach invocation policy and routing

Human, model, application, and skill activation need separate policy decisions before relevance ranking can be trusted.

* feat(phase-13/26): teach skill sandbox and trust boundaries

Skill instructions are untrusted input, so authority must remain host-owned and every filesystem, network, and command boundary must fail closed.

* feat(phase-13/27): add the skill release gate

A distributable skill needs adversarial structure, routing, safety, artifact, provenance, installation, and portability evidence before release.

* feat(skills): install and render complete skill bundles

Progressive-disclosure skills must keep companion references, scripts, assets, and evals intact across discovery, installation, and lesson rendering.

* docs(curriculum): index the agent skills mini-course

The expanded Phase 13 sequence needs consistent lesson links, durations, translations, and shared terminology across every learner entry point.

* feat(certification/11): teach stateless MCP integration

Certification learners need the same stateless wire model as the production curriculum.

* feat(phase-11/14): modernize MCP protocol contracts

The foundational MCP lesson must no longer teach the removed session lifecycle.

* fix(phase-13/01): align tool terms with stateless MCP

The tool interface introduction should point to the current protocol vocabulary.

* feat(phase-13/06): teach stateless MCP fundamentals

Learners need the current per-request contract before building clients or servers.

* feat(phase-13/07): build a stateless MCP server

The server lab should model the protocol that new implementations actually ship.

* feat(phase-13/08): build a stateless MCP client

The client lab must negotiate every request without relying on session state.

* feat(phase-13/09): teach current Streamable HTTP

Transport examples need the current POST-only lifecycle and notification behavior.

* feat(phase-13/10): teach stateless resources and prompts

Resource and prompt discovery must reflect stateless cache and result contracts.

* feat(phase-13/11): teach per-request sampling

Sampling calls must carry current capabilities and stateless response semantics.

* feat(phase-13/12): teach roots and elicitation retries

Elicitation retries and roots handling need current capability and MRTR boundaries.

* feat(phase-13/13): teach stateless MCP tasks

Task storage and subscriptions must survive cross-instance stateless requests.

* feat(phase-13/14): update MCP Apps contracts

Apps learners need current bridge, subscription, and discovery boundaries.

* feat(phase-13/15): update MCP threat boundaries

Threat modeling must cover current routing and MRTR state boundaries.

* feat(phase-13/16): update MCP OAuth contracts

OAuth examples must bind issuers and resources while using current errors.

* feat(phase-13/17): update gateway and registry contracts

Registry admission must separate publication identity from runtime discovery.

* feat(phase-13/18): teach production MCP authentication

Production auth should implement real PKCE, CIMD, and resource-bound caching.

* docs(phase-13/22): add a runnable skill quickstart

Beginners need an exact repository-root path from bundle inspection to host use.

* fix(phase-13/23): make the capstone stateless

The ecosystem capstone must compose the same current contracts taught upstream.

* docs(phase-13/24): clarify host discovery limits

Learners should distinguish known context budgets from host fallback behavior.

* docs(phase-13/26): clarify sandbox prerequisites

The safety lab needs explicit prerequisites and a viable conceptual fallback.

* docs(phase-13/27): add real-host release evidence

A production claim should require installed-host evidence beyond deterministic fixtures.

* docs(phase-16/02): update MCP legacy comparison

The interoperability comparison should use the current stateless MCP lifecycle.

* feat(phase-19/13): modernize the MCP registry capstone

The production capstone must separate Registry publication from stateless runtime discovery.

* docs(curriculum): index agent skills and stateless MCP

Learners need one coherent route through the skills track and current MCP sequence.

* feat(skills): add a focused agent skills learner path

A dedicated route removes placement and navigation friction for focused learners.

* feat(mcp): add production engineering track

* fix(cert-11): harden MCP integration contract

* fix(phase-11-14): classify MCP handler failures

* fix(mcp-07): validate JSON-RPC request identifiers

* fix(mcp-08): reuse strict response decoding

* fix(mcp-09): harden HTTP transport boundaries

* fix(mcp-11): isolate returned tool descriptors

* fix(mcp-12): make continuation state single-use

* fix(mcp-14): align lesson response metadata

* fix(mcp-15): expire and consume continuation state

* fix(mcp-16): bind OAuth enrollment and code exchange

* fix(mcp-18): enforce redirect and code lifetimes

* fix(mcp-23): validate task identifiers

* fix(skills-24): clarify discovery boundaries

* fix(skills-25): deny unknown invocation actors

* fix(skills-26): validate approval policy shape

* fix(mcp-28): terminate unsafe cursor pagination

* fix(mcp-29): preserve completed request state

* fix(mcp-30): require secure remote endpoints

* fix(mcp-31): strengthen conformance checks

* fix(agent-skills): align route prerequisites

* fix(scripts): harden skill bundle installation

* fix(site): validate learning and artifact boundaries

* fix(course): address review edge cases

* fix(mcp): tighten notification and redirect validation

* fix(mcp): secure reproducible lesson state

* fix(mcp): use required lesson header comments

Glossary

Two resources to cut through the noise:

  • terms.md - 60+ AI terms explained. What people say vs what it actually means.
  • myths.md - 20 common AI misconceptions busted with what's actually going on.

Each term entry follows the pattern:

  • What people say - the common (often wrong) understanding
  • What it actually means - the real definition
  • Why it's called that - origin of the name (when interesting)
