I'm pretty much just rawdogging Claude Code and opencode and I haven't bothered setting up skills or MCPs except for one that talks to Jira and Confluence. I just don't see the point when I'm perfectly capable of writing a detailed prompt with all my expectations.
The problem is that so many of these things are AI instructing AI and my trust rating for vibe coded tools is zero. It's become a point of pride for the human to be taken out of the loop, and the one thing that isn't recorded is the transcript that produced the slop.
I mean, you have the creator of openclaw saying he doesn't read code at all, he just generates it. That is not software engineering or development, it's brogrammer trash.
I think the rationale is that with the right tools you can move much faster, and not burn everything to the ground, than just rawdogging Claude. If you haven't bothered setting up extra tools you may still be faster / better than old you, but not better than the you that could be. I'm not preaching, that's just the idea.

Yes, but it's working. I'm still reading the code and calling out specific issues to Claude, but it's less and less.
