Codex Plugins: Why the AI Bottleneck Moved to Workflow

What's really happening with codex plugins, skills, prompts, and MCPs as agents start doing real work? The common story is that plugins are just app store add-ons — but the reality is more complicated.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on the agentic scaffolding that actually makes AI useful:

• Why prompts work for one-offs but break under repeated workflows

• How skills encode your house style across any LLM you use

• What plugins package up and why they're bigger than MCPs

• Where hooks, scripts, and connectors fit inside the larger system

For operators and builders, the leverage in 2026 lives in knowing which part of your workflow belongs in a prompt, a skill, a plugin, or an MCP — and packaging the right ones so your team can actually reuse them.
