Episode VII of Phase One: Skills, agentic workflows, and the tinker's burden

Seventh episode of the AI & Docs podcast series is up! In this one, Tom, Larah Vasquez, and I talk about local LLMs and the shift away from API dependence, why AI output is bad by default, skills as a token-efficient alternative to stuffing everything into MCP servers, the memory problem in LLMs, and whether tech writers are quietly architecting themselves into a higher role — or out of one.
