Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
A Hacker News thread debates whether agent skill files are worth managing, citing 2–4x output-token reductions on flagship models in one company's testing.
Commenters argue skills are stored prompts that help less-technical users compensate for weak prompting, while one participant reports company testing found skills reduce flagship-model output tokens by roughly 2–4x, a gap growing with newer models. Others note skills can bundle reusable scripts and inline commands for deterministic context building, and that harnesses now execute backticked commands before the agent sees the skill. Some argue improving model capability makes downloadable skills redundant.

Reducto Releases r-1: A Single Pass Document Parsing Model That Cuts Errors 20% at 1 Cent Per Page
Reducto launched r-1, a single-pass document parsing model claiming 20% error reduction over its legacy agentic pipeline, priced at 1 cent per page.
Reducto announced r-1, the first model in a new parsing family that replaces multi-stage agentic OCR with one full-page pass handling text, tables, figures, layout, formatting, and grounding with page-relative bounding boxes. The company reports a 20% error reduction measured against its own legacy agentic pipelines, plus vendor-run wins over Amazon Textract and Azure Document Intelligence on complex documents. Pricing is a flat 1 cent per page versus 3-6 cents for legacy models; r-1 is available in preview via the V3 Parse API with no open weights.
