Hot Builder Skills

1 clustered signal across 4 evidence links. Tracks durable builder practice shifts: MCP, skill distribution, eval loops, agent workflows, and operations.

Agent reliability practice is shifting toward evals and operational checks

The stronger builder-skill trend is operational: state constraints, testing harnesses, eval loops, and reusable context are replacing one-off prompt recipes.

AI Infrastructure

1 clustered signal across 4 evidence links. Tracks compute where it becomes operationally scarce: inference serving, power, data centers, and deployment cost.

AI infrastructure pressure is moving into power and local politics

Recent public signal clusters around data-center siting, electricity demand, turbines, nuclear comparisons, and local opposition rather than only GPU supply.
