The title says it all, or does it?
You can upgrade your Agent’s abilities with skills. This allows them to perform actions without needing to rely on what they have been trained to do or by spending time and resources on the Internet to ‘research’.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about:
- Check out Kris’s Skills library for Oracle AI Database
- Read my blog post to get started
Kris just announced some great updates
I asked Claude what we were looking forward to –
I have more than one AI Agent, for example Klein.
The nice thing about this node pack is that it offers the opportunity to install Skills ONCE for multiple agents.
Cool, what else?
I know a coworker who loves Roo Code, and I still have Windsurf.
It’s a choice, but it’s also a default.
And how does it go?
This part is important.
└ Done! Review skills before use; they run with full agency permissions.
We did something from InnerWebs. Make sure you know and agree to the Skills before submitting them to your Agent.
OK, let’s see if Klein can see it
Without reloading my VS Code Cline extension, I simply asked – hey, do we have the skills available for the Oracle task?
Sweet!
OK, let’s take one of these new skills for a test drive
I really like this one.
Make sure to leverage existing skills and our mcp server, Using my Raptor database connection, let’s increase our employee’s salary by 10% or $5000, whichever amount is lower.
And Cline responds… it wants to connect to my DB which I agree to, and then runs a query to find those ’employees’, which I also agree to.
And then he asked this –
This is because the skill has directed him when doing NL2SQL and DML work, not to do DELETE or UPDATES without a WHERE CLAUSE, at least until the operator confirms that is what he wants.
By the way, don’t do this ‘for real’
Database changes should be made on private machines, dump machines, scripted, tested, and automated. Never deployed to production directly, but with your normal change management processes and procedures.
But how do grok4 rapid reasoning LLMs at Klein decide to implement these changes?
UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET SALARY = SALARY + LEAST(0.1 * SALARY, 5000)
I mean, I think I know what it does, but let’s ask an ‘expert’ –
Don’t trust the Agent, don’t trust the Skills, and don’t trust your Agent to use the Skills
The first time I asked Klein to do this, he ignored everything in the skill. I rebuked him, and said, hey! Dude! Then everything went smoothly, oh you’re right, sorry…
Use Plan mode. Review the plan. Make sure the Skill has been used and followed correctly. Test in a safe environment. Use your brain.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
