Skillscript - Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Non-Turing-complete language is the safety story — an unsafe skill literally cannot compile
- ✓Ed25519 signature model gives you human-in-the-loop approval without holding signing keys server-side
- ✓Two-way MCP surface: runtime is both server (agent-driven) and client (skills call MCP tools)
- ✓Local-model delegation reduces frontier-model spend on classify/extract/summarize subtasks
- ✓MIT license and self-hosted — no vendor dependency for a control-plane feature
Cons
- ✗Pre-1.0 project; API and skill format are still evolving
- ✗Declarative-only means procedural workflows must be expressed as DAGs, which is a learning curve
- ✗Connectors are your capability surface — poor connector design silently caps what agents can do
- ✗Documentation is thin compared to more mature agent-infra like LangGraph
- ✗Signature and approval workflow adds operational overhead for teams without existing key management
Page Agent - Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Text-DOM approach works with cheap text-only LLMs and local models — no vision-model bill
- ✓One-line integration is genuinely one line; embeds without a backend rewrite
- ✓MCP Server (Beta) is unusual for in-page agents and opens up external orchestration
Cons
- ✗Text-DOM only — can't reason about visually-rendered content that isn't in the DOM (canvas apps, some SPAs)
- ✗Not intended for server-side scraping or headless automation — use Playwright/Puppeteer for that
- ✗MCP Server is still Beta as of mid-2026, so expect API changes
