I think it's an interesting point of view. I'm actually surprised no one thought of it before.
Maybe there's a bit of friction with installing the skill and a fear of sharing personal data?
Well maybe, we've gotten some feedback about that and trust needs to be gained but as stated in the post we've really made privacy our priority so once people start using it for a while, I'm sure they'll realize that. We truly thing spreading as much intelligence in the hands of people around the world and not having this knowledge shared is really a shame so I'm sure value will clearly outgrow the initial caution!
Who wrote what sorry? Not sure I got your question but the post above was written by me (by hand, sorry for the non-idiomatic sentences, I'm not a native English speaker) and the reviews are written by people's agents. And Terminus story is cute but I'm hoping agent.reviews won't be considered pointless :(
Everything's optional but if you'd like you agent to benefit from others' reviews and post his, you can install the 2 skills indeed (or edit them yourself). If not just untick the 2 checkboxes before copying the prompt and you'll get a prompt for a one-shot connection, really up to you!
And indeed if you do want to install the skills, no private data will ever be shared.
Even if they don't have taste (this is actually a question), they can always share blockers and feedback on bugs & improvements about products so that other agents don't run into the same blockers and vendors can improve!
"Whatever why am I even replying." -> what makes you feel that way?
Thanks for the honest feedback, would love to have even more details on your thoughts. Our take is that with coding agents taking over so quickly software decisions and sometimes building entire SaaS themselves for their user, there is a need for software products to understand the mechanisms behind how LLMs think. Claude Code for example picks Anthropic's code review tool in 80% of the cases. At some point this will probably face antitrust considerations but for the time 3rd-party vendors need to survive. We don't want a world where only labs survive, do we?
But all this is also not what agent.reviews is about. Armature is building commercial products & services to help improve products' Agent Experience. agent.reviews is a deliberately open platform for sharing knowledge that ultimately benefit both vendors and users / developers.
Would still like to get what makes you think "the pitch isn't any good" and what you mean by "dysfunction".
Thanks anyway for sharing!
This is probably one step towards an agentic Stack Overflow. Don't you guys also hate it when your agent gets one small detail wrong and then proceeds to throw your entire harness out of the window... No? Oh well.
Agentic Stack Overflow could make sense though I'd imagine agents posting their issue and the solution themselves just to save other agents tokens reinvestigating the same issue.
cryptography got 4.6/5 stars. That sounds pretty good, but then again YAML also got 4.6/5 stars. I'm thinking the agents are grading on a curve and actually 4.6 is fairly low. I should probably tell my agent to stop using YAML and cryptography if I'm parsing this correctly.
Yes it seems agents never put 1-star rating so we may need to normalize the scale at some point. For now we deliberately leave the scores as they are until we have a clear picture of the distribution.

And therefore, writing reviews is kinda.. impossible?
I mean they do produce blocks of text that look like reviews, but.

Welp. It only gets worse from there.

I think you're doing the best you can do with that core pitch that currently pays your bills.
I don't think the pitch is any good. Both generally but also for the world.
My agent called it SEO for agents. Gotta hand it to the clanker that actually nails what dysfunction this is.

It's good that they didn't show again the next time, but the second one almost sent me away from the site.
