September 29th was one of the biggest days of the Tudor year, and most of us have never heard of it. Michaelmas, the feast of St Michael and All Angels, was when rent came due, farm servants' contracts ran out, London chose its Lord Mayor, and the lawyers and students all headed back to town. It was also goose day, and the reason tenants turned up at the landlord's door with a goose under their arm is funnier (and a little sadder) than you'd think. This is episode 1 of a four-part series on how the Tudors got ready for autumn. In this one:

Réponse rapide. Créer un agent IA sur Claude ne demande aucune ligne de code. Il suffit d'assembler quatre briques : un projet (le rôle et le contexte), une ou plusieurs skills (vos méthodes de travail, écrites une fois pour toutes dans un fichier SKILL.md), des connecteurs (l'accès à vos outils : messagerie, agenda, Drive, CRM) et des tâches planifiées (le déclenchement automatique). Comptez une heure pour un premier agent opérationnel.Je forme des équipes à l'IA générative depuis 2021, et depuis un an la demande a changé de nature. On ne me demande plus « comment bien prompter », on me demande « comment créer un agent ». Voici ce que je réponds, et surtout l'erreur qui fait échouer neuf tentatives sur dix.Définition — Agent IAUn agent IA est un système qui ne se contente pas de répondre : il dispose d'un rôle défini, de procédures réutilisables, d'un accès à des outils externes et d'une capacité à se déclencher sans intervention humaine. La différence avec un chatbot n'est pas la puissance du modèle, mais l'environnement qu'on lui construit autour.Les quatre briques d'un agent IALa meilleure analogie reste l'intégration d'un collaborateur. Vous lui donnez un poste, vous lui transmettez vos méthodes, vous lui ouvrez les accès, puis vous le laissez travailler en autonomie sur certaines tâches. Un agent, c'est la même séquence.1. Le projet : définir le rôleUn projet Claude contient deux éléments : des instructions permanentes et des documents de référence. Les instructions décrivent qui est l'agent, pour qui il travaille, avec quel ton et quelles règles. Les documents constituent sa culture : charte éditoriale, catalogue d'offres, process internes, positionnement.Pour rédiger ces instructions, j'applique la méthode RDCOF que j'enseigne en formation — Rôle, Description, Contexte, Output, Format. Un prompt RDCOF cesse alors d'être jetable : il devient la fiche de poste de l'agent.Le test de validation : ouvrez une conversation dans le projet et tapez simplement « vas-y ». Si l'agent sait de quoi vous parlez, la configuration tient.2. Les skills : transmettre un savoir-faireC'est la brique décisive, et la moins comprise.Définition — Skill (ou compétence)Une skill est un dossier contenant un fichier SKILL.md : un en-tête avec deux champs obligatoires — un nom et une description — suivi de vos instructions en texte simple. Claude la charge automatiquement dès qu'une demande correspond à sa description, sans que vous ayez à la mentionner.La distinction avec un prompt tient en une phrase : un prompt, vous le recollez à chaque conversation ; une skill, vous la créez une fois et elle s'applique toute seule.Trois façons de créer la vôtre :Sur claude.ai, dans les paramètres, sans coder — la voie la plus simple pour un usage individuel.Dans Claude Code, sous forme de dossier au sein de votre projet.Via l'API, pour les développeurs.Vous n'êtes pas obligée d'écrire le fichier vous-même : Anthropic fournit une skill dont le rôle est précisément d'en créer d'autres, le skill-creator. Vous décrivez votre méthode, il génère le fichier structuré.La règle qui fait la différence : décrire le résultat, pas la procédureUne skill rédigée en « Étape 1, Étape 2, Étape 3 » produit du rigide et se périme vite. Une skill qui décrit à quoi ressemble un bon livrable, énonce vos règles et donne deux exemples produit du juste. Laissez de la liberté sur le chemin, soyez intransigeante sur la destination.3. Les connecteurs : passer du conseil à l'actionTant que l'agent ne voit que la fenêtre de conversation, il conseille. Les connecteurs le relient à vos outils réels — messagerie, agenda, Drive, Slack, CRM — pour qu'il lise vos vrais documents et agisse dessus.4. Les tâches planifiées : l'autonomieC'est ce qui fait basculer l'assistant en agent. Vous définissez une récurrence et l'exécution a lieu sans vous : veille du lundi matin, brief quotidien, reporting du 5 de chaque mois.L'erreur numéro un : soigner les instructions et bâcler la descriptionQuand une skill ne se déclenche pas, le réflexe est de réécrire les instructions. C'est presque toujours une perte de temps.Claude ne lit pas le contenu de toutes vos compétences en permanence : il lit leur description, et c'est sur cette seule base qu'il décide d'en ouvrir une. Une description vague laisse la skill en sommeil. Une description qui énumère les situations concernées et les formulations que vous employez réellement — « crée un module », « prépare un programme », « fiche pédagogique » — la déclenche sans effort.Dans une skill, la partie la plus stratégique ne fait pas dix pages. Elle fait deux lignes.Faut-il passer au niveau technique ?Deux précisions utiles si vous tombez sur un tutoriel daté. Dans Claude Code, les sous-agents sont des fichiers Markdown avec en-tête YAML, chacun disposant de son propre prompt système, de ses outils autorisés et de son modèle ; depuis la version 2.1.198, la commande /agents n'ouvre plus d'assistant de création — on demande à Claude d'écrire le fichier ou on l'édite directement. Côté développeurs, le Claude Agent SDK expose en Python ou TypeScript la même boucle d'agent que Claude Code, et une API d'agents hébergés existe en version bêta.Mon conseil en entreprise : dans la grande majorité des cas, le niveau sans code suffit. Partir sur du technique parce que « ça fait sérieux » est le meilleur moyen de ne jamais livrer.Un argument de pérennité souvent ignoréLancées par Anthropic en octobre 2025, les skills sont devenues un standard ouvert en décembre 2025, adopté depuis par Microsoft, Cursor et Goose. Autrement dit, la méthode que vous formalisez aujourd'hui dans un SKILL.md n'est pas un investissement captif : elle reste lisible ailleurs. Dans un marché où les outils changent tous les trimestres, c'est un argument que je mets systématiquement en avant auprès des directions.Par où commencer concrètementChoisissez une seule tâche. Répétitive, à enjeu modéré, que vous savez déjà bien faire — on ne transmet que ce qu'on maîtrise. C'est exactement l'usage de la matrice NICE que j'utilise pour prioriser les cas d'usage avec mes clients.Créez le projet et posez le rôle en RDCOF.Transformez vos instructions actuelles en skill, via le skill-creator.Testez dans une conversation neuve : la skill se déclenche-t-elle sans que vous la nommiez ?Si elle ne se déclenche pas, corrigez la description, pas le corps.Ajoutez un connecteur, puis une planification, seulement quand les étapes précédentes sont stables.FAQQu'est-ce qu'un agent IA sur Claude ?Un assistant configuré avec un rôle permanent (projet), des méthodes de travail réutilisables (skills), un accès à des outils externes (connecteurs) et un déclenchement automatique (tâches planifiées). Ce n'est pas un modèle différent, c'est un environnement construit autour du modèle.Faut-il savoir coder pour créer un agent IA sur Claude ?Non. Sur claude.ai, projets, skills, connecteurs et tâches planifiées se configurent sans aucune ligne de code. Le code n'intervient qu'avec Claude Code ou l'API.Quelle différence entre un prompt et une skill Claude ?Un prompt est une instruction que vous recollez à chaque conversation. Une skill est un fichier créé une seule fois, que Claude charge automatiquement quand la tâche correspond à sa description.Comment créer une skill Claude ?Vous rédigez un dossier contenant un fichier SKILL.md avec un nom, une description et vos instructions en Markdown, puis vous l'ajoutez dans les paramètres de claude.ai, dans Claude Code ou via l'API. La skill officielle skill-creator peut générer ce fichier à votre place.Pourquoi ma skill ne se déclenche-t-elle pas ?Dans la quasi-totalité des cas, la description est trop vague. Précisez les situations concernées et les formulations exactes que vous employez.Quelle différence entre un projet et une skill ?Le projet porte le contexte (qui vous êtes, pour qui, avec quels documents) et ne vaut que dans cet espace. La skill porte une méthode (comment produire un livrable) et s'applique sur l'ensemble de votre compte.Combien de temps faut-il pour créer un premier agent ?Environ une heure pour un agent simple : projet, une skill, une recherche web et une tâche planifiée hebdomadaire.

Join Snaxton & Goose for another episode of Snax Pax! This week they discuss would you rathers, the movie "Rat Race", Snaxton almost punching an 80yr old man, shidding his pants, and reading your messages!

At this year's Wild Goose Festival, that was the question. So Gayle and Natalie grabbed a microphone, wandered around the Goose, and asked people what unbound means to them. The answers took us places.Freedom from fear-based religion. Belonging. Becoming your authentic self. Letting go of the doors that simply will not open. Being “loosely tethered” enough to follow where God leads. Freedom from the expectations, guilt, labels, pain, and old stories that keep us from becoming who God created us to be. And maybe our favorite description: “unshoulding” ourselves. Letting go of all those I should be this and I should do that voices long enough to discover grace. Because perhaps being unbound isn't about being disconnected at all. Maybe it's about being connected to God and one another without being confined - free enough to move, grow, love, heal, and become. This week on Unbound.Love, hear the voices of the Wild Goose—and then join us as we meander through what their answers stirred up in us.And drop us a line, What does UNBOUND mean to you?Wild GooseAnna Golliday

every day after school.Fr: Luc, Chantal et Émile aimaient se rassembler à l'ancienne gare abandonnée.En: Luc, Chantal, and Émile loved to gather at the old abandoned train station.Fr: Les rails rouillés serpentant à travers les feuilles dorées, les murs de pierre recouverts de lierre.En: The rusty tracks winding through golden leaves, the stone walls covered in ivy.Fr: L'atmosphère était paisible mais mystérieuse.En: The atmosphere was peaceful yet mysterious.Fr: L'automne apportait une douce fraîcheur, et chacun avait un sandwich prêté par maman.En: Autumn brought a gentle freshness,

liked to steal their lunches.Fr: Luc, un garçon curieux avec le rêve secret de devenir inventeur, ne pouvait pas laisser la situation continuer.En: Luc, a curious boy with the secret dream of becoming an inventor, couldn't let the situation continue.Fr: "Je vais construire quelque chose pour effrayer cette oie," déclara-t-il fermement.En: "I'm going to build something to scare that goose," he declared firmly.Fr: Chantal, avec son esprit pratique, approuva.En: Chantal, with her practical mind, agreed.Fr: "Trouvons nos vieux habits," proposa-t-elle.En: "Let's find our old clothes," she

This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, the guys recap a rough Minnesota goose opener and try to make sense of where the birds went. A lot of the geese that had been around for weeks seemed to disappear right before opener, teal reports were all over the place, and plenty of hunters around the state struggled to put together much of a shoot. Cal and Joey talk through their own opener experiences, hunting with the kids, and why early-season birds can change everything in a matter of days. From there, the conversation turns to the conditions heading into duck season. Water is extremely low in parts of Minnesota, some traditional areas are drying up, and the guys compare what they're seeing in the field to the latest waterfowl population numbers. Mallards are reportedly down, while several other species are up, but the amount of ducks they've seen this summer has them questioning whether the current counts are telling the whole story. They talk about survey routes, changing habitat, where birds may be moving, and whether collecting more data could give hunters a better picture of what is actually happening. The guys also get into band superstition, grouse hunting, early-season scouting, and plenty of the usual side conversations along the way.

Monthly Sponsors:North Dakota TourismWeatherbyHunters have observed and debated changes in duck migration and winter distributions for as long as both have existed. Now, new research helps answer some of the biggest questions. In this special collaboration between the Ducks Unlimited Podcast and the North American Waterfowler Podcast, DU's Senior Waterfowl Scientist, Dr. Mike Brasher, joins Elliott Snider; Dr. Lisa Webb, Supervisor, USGS Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Program; and Dr. Heath Hagy, Project Leader, USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team, to break down the findings of two recent studies that shed light on this captivating and hotly contested topic. The studies and conversation explore more than 60 years of waterfowl band recovery, harvest survey, and distribution data to examine whether ducks are wintering farther north than they once did. The group discusses what the studies found, where migration patterns appear to be changing, where they're not, and why answering these questions is far more complicated than many people realize. Topics CoveredAre ducks wintering farther north?What 60 years of band recovery data revealsDifferences between mallards, pintails, and blue-winged tealWhy migration changes vary by species and monthThe role of weather, habitat, and agricultureWhat hunters see versus what large-scale datasets showHow migration science is studied and evaluatedWhat questions still remain unansweredHow none of this would be possible without huntersListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Goose has returned from discovering his Japanese heritage and embracing his true Japanese self. This week we discuss Goose's trip, the food he ate, the sites he observed, and read your messages!

The aftermath of September 11 showed what this country is capable of when differences are set aside and everyone pulls on the same end of the rope. Much has changed since then, including duck hunting. While nothing in the waterfowl world approaches the gravity of 9/11, some lessons about unity and cooperation still apply. The guys discuss growing collaboration within the waterfowl science community and how good data starts and ends with duck hunter input. Cason and Brent also question whether available data adequately captures outfitter harvest. The show wraps up with an update on proposed solar and wind projects in the Arkansas Delta and the research underway to measure their potential impacts.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.

Servant leadership gets mentioned in almost every conversation about leadership in the church, but a lot of Christian men are using the term to quietly get out of leading at all. Goose breaks down what servant leadership actually means, using Jesus washing his disciples' feet as the example, and why the word leader never gets cancelled out by the word servant.If you've ever used the phrase "servant leader" to explain why you're not stepping up, this episode is a direct challenge to rethink that.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador's Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Brad Axen, Block's Head of AI Capabilities and the original author of Goose, joins Liam to talk about what actually makes AI useful at work. They cover how Block went from building an early open-source AI agent to MoneyBot, ManagerBot, BuilderBot and Buzz, and why Brad thinks the hardest problems now are memory, access and interface, not just model intelligence. Brad also explains why AI memory should belong to the business rather than a single bot, what ants can teach us about shared memory systems, why "meat proxy" is becoming a new office problem, and how Buzz is testing a multiplayer model where humans and AI agents work in the same space. Key Topics Covered Goose, Block's open-source AI agent, and the Agentic AI Foundation Agents vs. harnesses vs. interfaces MoneyBot, ManagerBot and BuilderBot Why AI memory should belong to the business, not the bot Stigmergy and ants as a model for shared memory Buzz and Block's "multiplayer" approach to AI at work "Meat proxy" and the new office busywork AI can create Why the bottleneck is shifting from writing code to deciding what to build How AI is changing hiring, interviews and day-to-day work The human cost of spending all day working with AI Episode Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:07 What Block actually is 02:40 From CERN to Block 05:19 Building Goose and taking it open source 06:29 Agents vs. harnesses vs. interfaces 10:28 MoneyBot, ManagerBot and BuilderBot 15:56 Memory, access and learning over time 22:53 What ants can teach us about AI memory 26:48 Two versions of where AI could go 28:26 Buzz and the idea of multiplayer AI 29:56 "Meat proxy": the new office problem 35:09 The Buzz case study and a 50% productivity jump 37:06 The new bottleneck now that AI can write the code 49:11 Rebuilding institutional knowledge after team restructuring 52:00 How AI is changing hiring and interviews 57:35 The loneliness of working with AI all day 59:13 Why Brad does what he does Connect with Brad on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleyaxen/ Partner Links Upgrade your AI toolkit: https://www.theaireport.ai/ai-executive-pass Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://newsletter.theaireport.ai/subscribe Join the community: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

Walsh, to discuss one of the most influential books ever written about Chesapeake Bay waterfowling and market hunting.Joe shares stories about his father's life, his deep connections to the Eastern Shore watermen and market gunners, and the passion that drove him to preserve their stories before they were lost forever. The conversation explores everything from punt guns and battery guns to sink boxes, gunning lights, and the unique culture that developed around waterfowling on the Chesapeake.The discussion also highlights Harry Walsh's role in preserving waterfowling heritage, his early collecting efforts, his relationship with Ducks Unlimited, and the conservation ethic that ultimately emerged from witnessing the decline of waterfowl populations and traditional hunting communities.Topics CoveredThe story behind The Outlaw GunnerHarry Walsh's life and conservation legacyMarket hunting on the Chesapeake BayPunt guns, battery guns, and sink boxesGunning lights and historical hunting methodsEastern Shore waterfowling culturePreserving hunting heritage through collectingThe origins of the Waterfowl FestivalHow conservation ethics evolved over timeListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Monthly Sponsors:North Dakota TourismWeatherbyA few weeks ago, the Klamath Basin was facing a potentially devastating botulism outbreak. Today, there's some much-needed good news.Dr. Mike Brasher, DU's Senior Waterfowl Scientist, reconnects with Jeff McCreary, Director of Operations for the Western Region, to share an important update from the Klamath Basin and the efforts that helped prevent a catastrophic die-off of ducks.Following months of drought, low snowpack, declining water levels, and an emerging botulism outbreak, conservation partners, water users, agencies, and tribes worked together to move critical water into the Klamath Refuges. Combined with cooler temperatures and rain, those efforts dramatically improved conditions and halted this year's botulism threat. As a result, tens of thousands of newly hatched ducks will be taking flight this fall, boosting the hopes of duck hunters throughout the flyway. Topics CoveredWhat changed in the Klamath Basin since the last updateHow collaborative water management helped stop a larger outbreakWhy additional water made such a differenceThe role of cooler weather and rainfallWaterfowl production estimates for the regionWhat this means for Pacific Flyway hunters this fallThe future of the flow-through water conceptWhy DU's conservation work matters on the groundListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

At a time when communities across America are literally under siege by secretive data center powers intent on seizing our land, water, electric grid, and even our local democracy – that's when you're grateful to have a president who'll stand with you, fighting for the people's rights!Let's hope we can get one those sometime soon.Instead, we're now stuck with a wholly corporatized, pusillanimous president who is waving the flag of surrender at AI data center invaders. Worse, America's self-proclaimed supreme leader is publicly mocking the gutsy local groups – of all political stripes – who are daring to oppose the global technocratic order being devised by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and a handful of other billionaire profiteers.The president of our people's republic recently belittled the millions of grassroots democracy rebels who oppose the robber barons' Brave New World. He pompously sneered that the only reason that they don't want data centers is “they want to end up being backwards and poor.”Wow! Keen insight, Mr. President!He even proposes an AI monarchy: If your communities, “want to be successful and rich,” he says, “let data reign.” Reign? Yes, a US president has actually declared that artificial intelligence should rule over us, meaning that Musk, Bezos, and other royal billionaires who own AI will rule.Trump & Company warn that if you democracy rebels “kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame.” But perhaps he doesn't realize that the Golden Goose is a fable – a self-laudatory myth. “Golden Eggs” are not laid by a goose, but by humanity, communities working together, and investing in the Common Good.Do something!If you're unsure about what “AI” and “data centers” really mean, check out the plain-English explainers we published recently: part 1 on AI, and part 2 on data centers.Here are a few hubs of data center action that will help you find your way to join the rebellion:* Data Center Opposition Report: A regularly-published comprehensive report on the numbers of fights out there, with case studies for inspiration* The Stop Data Centers Coalition has a list of member organizations who are calling for a national data center moratorium* The Coalition for Responsible Data Center Development, a Minnesota based organization, has published a map of Facebook groups all over the country fighting data centers* One of our top go-to resources are the toolkits that MediaJustice has created* Kairos Fellowship also has a slew of guides and is developing a hotline that local groups can call for advice.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

The future of waterfowl hunting depends on more than ducks. It depends on community, storytelling, and getting new people involved.Recorded live from the Duck Den at DUX 2026, host Jimbo Robinson sits down with the team behind Split Reed: Zach, Brennan, and Max. The conversation explores how a digital waterfowl publication grew into a community-driven platform focused on hunting, conservation, storytelling, and helping new hunters find their place in the sport.The group discusses the origins of Split Reed, the success of the Road Duck Tour series, public land hunting culture, and why authentic storytelling continues to resonate in an increasingly crowded digital world. Along the way, they share thoughts on recruiting young hunters, building friendships through waterfowling, and why community is still the most important part of the sport.Topics CoveredThe origin and mission of Split ReedBuilding a waterfowl-focused media communityThe Road Duck Tour seriesPublic land duck hunting and DIY adventuresStorytelling in modern hunting cultureRecruiting and inspiring new huntersWaterfowl industry friendships and partnershipsWhy community remains central to waterfowlingDUX 2026 highlights and favorite productsListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Joey and Nancy kicked off the Friday before Tennessee football season with plenty of Vols talk, including visits from Mike Keith and Brian Rice, plus chances to win Tennessee football tickets, Tucker Wetmore tickets, and rodeo passes. Nancy shared the latest update on her massive raised-bed garden project, which already includes $600 worth of garden beds, 7,000 pounds of rock, and plans for tomatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots, corn, beans, zucchini, and okra. Joey joked she’s building her own mini Biltmore. A young listener named Ryker won Tucker Wetmore tickets after being the first caller to hear the “Tuck, Tuck, Goose” sound effect. Nancy vented about a funeral she recently attended after a man who never met her uncle delivered a 45-minute eulogy full of incorrect details. That led to Nancy outlining her own funeral wishes, including bright pink clothing, a short service, cremation mixed with pink glitter, and speeches only from people who actually knew her.

Born during the Dust Bowl era, the Federal Duck Stamp was created to provide a permanent funding source for wetland conservation. More than 90 years and $1.3 billion later, it remains one of the greatest conservation success stories in American history. But as habitat continues to disappear and threats such as the recent drain tile setback issue emerge, protecting the Duck Factory will require more from duck hunters. The guys break down the Buy Two Duck Stamps campaign, where the money goes and why a second stamp may be the best $25 a duck hunter can spend on the future of the sport.
