Both companies also published a chart, right next to the discount, that shows effort setting moves your cost far more than either price cut does. openai anthropic gpt-6-astra claude-opus-5-5 pricing opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/how-to-create-a-custom-ai-skill https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/how-to-create-a-custom-ai-skill Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Most SKILL.md files are formatted correctly and still never fire once. The format was never the problem. Three specific habits are, and no checklist about frontmatter fields will catch them. claude-skills agents best-practices https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/we-open-sourced-the-list-as-an-awesome-list https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/we-open-sourced-the-list-as-an-awesome-list Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Every entry from this directory is now also a plain-markdown awesome-list on GitHub, so you can browse it, fork it, or send a PR without leaving GitHub. meta open-source github https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/prompt-engineering-examples-ai-agents https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/prompt-engineering-examples-ai-agents Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A bad prompt to a chatbot in 2023 meant you asked again. A bad prompt to an agent in 2026 means it already edited the wrong file. Five before-and-after examples show exactly where the gap opens up. prompt-engineering ai-agents context-engineering guide https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/seo-skills-for-ai-agents-2026 https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/seo-skills-for-ai-agents-2026 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT SEO for agents means two different things now: agents that do the SEO work, and getting found by the agents doing the searching. Both jobs are skills you install, not a checklist someone reads once a month. seo ai-agents claude-skills geo https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/gpt-6-astra-vs-claude-fable-5-1 https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/gpt-6-astra-vs-claude-fable-5-1 Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Astra wins the benchmark table and the price sheet. Fable 5.1 wins the question that matters more once an agent is running unsupervised: does it stay on task. openai anthropic gpt-6-astra claude-fable-5-1 comparison https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/claude-fable-5-1-model-ranking https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/claude-fable-5-1-model-ranking Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Anthropic only gave a codename to the flagship. That's the tell: reach for Fable 5.1 when a task earns it, and use the plain-named tiers under it for everything else. anthropic claude claude-fable-5-1 guide https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/chinese-ai-changing-the-game https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/chinese-ai-changing-the-game Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT DeepSeek gets the headlines, but Qwen, GLM, Kimi and MiniMax made the same bet. Open weights aren't charity. They're the strongest move available to a lab that isn't first. china open-source-ai opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/deepseek-harness-the-future https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/deepseek-harness-the-future Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT DeepSeek didn't just ship a cheap, open model. It made it normal to build your own agent loop instead of renting someone else's. That shift matters more than the model itself. deepseek ai-agents opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/gpt-6-astra-what-actually-changed https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/gpt-6-astra-what-actually-changed Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT OpenAI's new flagship claims record scores everywhere at once. Strip out the marketing and three things hold up: it's cheaper per task, it handles much longer context, and it says no to itself more often. openai gpt-6-astra opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/is-grok-really-more-powerful https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/is-grok-really-more-powerful Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT xAI keeps claiming the top spot on benchmarks. Maybe it's true this week. It still isn't the question that decides whether Grok is useful to you. grok xai opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/why-skills-and-agents-matter-in-agentic-ai https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/why-skills-and-agents-matter-in-agentic-ai Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT When an agent goes off the rails, the instinct is to blame the model. Most of the time the real problem is that nobody gave it a skill or a way to reach the right tool. agents skills mcp opinion https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/why-a-curated-directory https://aiassetsdirectory.com/blog/why-a-curated-directory Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Other directories count assets by the hundred thousand. We would rather tell you the license is clean and the install command actually runs, even if that means a shorter list. manifesto curation trust
