Anthropic is shifting Claude from manual prompting to learning repeatable workflows through direct observation—treating the model like software you can program through demonstration rather than instruction. Instead of users becoming prompt engineers, they become task demonstrators. This lowers the barrier to consistent outputs while creating vendor lock-in around recorded skill libraries. If pattern capture becomes reliable, it turns AI assistants from tools you configure into tools that configure themselves based on usage patterns.
