Weeknotes #58 (December 13, 2025)

Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I read
- Simon Willison found that OpenAI are implementing Claude skills into their various interfaces. I'm happy to see that more providers are implementing the tech, as well as Microsoft in the new VS Code update. Claude skills seem like it is a good step in adding context and guidance to a LLM only when needed, and maybe the concept can be handed up to the newly made Agentic AI Foundation similar how Anthropic donated MCP, and OpenAI with AGENTS.md.
- On the flipside of good AI news, Disney partnered with OpenAI to allow their characters be used by Sora. I don't really support Text-to-video models as I feel it is losing the spark of the creative process and just trying to skip the hard part in order to make more content, and for one of the biggest entertainment companies saying this is okay seems like a slap in the face to the millions of story tellers around the world, especially given Disney is going to curate AI videos with their IP into Disney+ starting next year.
- GitHub Actions Has a Package Manager, and It Might Be the Worst by Andrew Nesbitt wrote about the management of Actions and the poor experience to it. He did comment that GitHub has built Immutable Releases to possibly resolve this, but since this was written, the issue for GitHub issue for Immutable actions publishing on their roadmap repo has been closed, so it seems they are reworking the design compared to what it previously was in a closed beta.
- Geoff Keighley's Game Awards was this past Thursday with half celebration of 2025's games and half look ahead to upcoming games. I wasn't interested too much in the upcoming games, but was happy to see that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won a bunch of awards, including Game of The Year.
