hmm it took Claude 4.5 <30 minutes to reimplement a complex mcp server as a Skill for me... removing all dependencies except curl and jq.

Workflow:

1. (bot) git clone 1m
2. (bot) create new remote, add remote, push 1m
3. (bot) create new repo for skill 1m
4. (bot) make design -> PR 5m
5. (human) read design, give feedback 2m
6. (bot) improve design based on feedback 1m
7. (human) merge design documentation 1m
8. (bot) implement -> PR 8m
9. (bot) install the skill 1m
10. (human+bot) test all features 5m

... (human) merge feature ...

Source mcp took 4 months to be developed (by Claude 3.7 + human)
