Better with Kent — durable skills for people who ship software.

Kent walks through Kody, the thin runtime layer that lets the coding agent he already uses discover capabilities, execute sandboxed code, and save useful workflows as packages. Instead of maintaining a separate personal assistant brain, Kody gives Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, and similar agents a way to connect to personal APIs, home automation, jobs, integrations, secrets, and reusable package exports.

The episode uses an office-chaos cold open and a kitchen glare walkthrough to show the progression from one-off prompt, to executable code, to saved package, to scheduled workflow.
