Markdown is the new Installer
No more MSI. No more dragging. No more downloading.
A well crafted bootstrapping prompt provided to your users can mean you can create ever more complex tools and apps that might be terrible to install from a human-perspective, but for an agent they are easy-as-pie to go through.
Your users fire up their favorite local agent, paste your bootstrap, and a minute or so later things are installed.
Yes - it's not deterministic. but it also means the process is much more (surprisingly) reliable since it can deal with a lot of unknowns (user OS, local environment, misconfigurations , limitations and unforseen actions by the user) in a much more elaborate way.
Intelligent installers are the new "curl ...." copy-paste. We still need those, but agents run them.
Tokens-per-install might become a new metric.
At work we allow users with less technical knowledge to install kiro, skills and mcps written by other people in the company, and actually get them to use them - undreamt of just a couple of years ago.
The only remaining wall to climb no built in "paste and run" surface built into the OS yet: I still can't get my mom to paste a prompt though. She needs a local desktop agent and that's too much for her. Web version is good enough (in moderation).
