Declarative Language for Tool Orchestration Released as Open-Source

**New Tool Allows Users to Write Custom Procedures for AI Agents**

A small but significant innovation has emerged in the field of artificial intelligence, with the launch of Skillscript, a custom language designed to empower users to write specific procedures for their local AI agents. Created by Scott, the founder of Skillscript, this tool aims to bridge the gap between human intention and AI execution. The language was born out of a desire to automate repetitive tasks, such as running morning briefs, and to utilize local models for simple tasks, which can wander off course if left unchecked.

Skillscript is a text-based language that allows users to define named steps, variables, conditions, and tool calls, all within a bounded and secure framework. This ensures that users can trust the language and its output, without worrying about the potential for damage or unexpected behavior. The tool is still in its early stages, with a pre-1.0 version available for self-hosted use and MCP-native integration. While it has its rough edges, Skillscript has already proven itself to be a valuable addition to Scott's daily workflow.

As the tool continues to develop, Scott is seeking feedback on its language design and trust model. Specifically, he is looking for input on whether the language is too small or too big, and whether its shape is correct. Additionally, he is seeking to understand what would need to be in place for users to trust Skillscript on their own machines. With a growing community of users and contributors, Skillscript is poised to become a key player in the AI tooling landscape.
