The cause? Anthropic released eleven open-source plugins for Claude Cowork on January 30th. Among them was a legal plugin—markdown files describing how to automate contract review, NDA triage, compliance workflows, and legal briefings. Not a new model. Not superior engineering. Just domain expertise encoded in text, surfaced to a general-purpose AI.

This wasn't an isolated event. Thirteen months earlier, DeepSeek triggered a $600 billion single-day loss at Nvidia by demonstrating that competitive AI models could be built for $5.6 million instead of hundreds of millions. OpenClaw—an open-source agent that gives AI models "hands" to operate computers—reached 100,000 GitHub stars in two months.
This wasn't an isolated event. Twelve months earlier, DeepSeek triggered a $600 billion single-day loss at Nvidia by demonstrating that competitive AI models could be trained for $5.6 million in compute instead of hundreds of millions.

The pattern is consistent: **simplicity is winning**.

2. **Full instructions (<5k tokens):** Loaded when the AI determines the skill applies.
3. **Bundled resources:** Scripts, documentation, templates. Loaded only as needed.

The result: 98% token reduction when skills are present but not used. You can include dozens of skills in a deployment, but only pay for the ones actually activated.

This is how the legal plugin can have deep expertise across contracts, NDAs, compliance, and briefings without bloating every interaction.

**Analysts** spend most of their time on discovery and preparation—finding tables, understanding columns, tracing why numbers don't match. One analytics leader noted that tracing a single data quality issue "often takes at least a couple of hours" before any actual analytical work can begin.

**Data Scientists** report that 76% say data wrangling is the worst part of their job. They spend more time consolidating data from disparate sources than building models.
**Data Scientists** report that 57% say data cleaning and organisation is the least enjoyable part of their job. They spend more time consolidating data from disparate sources than building models.

**Data Stewards** are rarely in dedicated full-time roles. The work is continuous—data ecosystems constantly evolve. They're perpetually behind on documentation because documentation isn't their only job.

**Business Users**—only 21% feel confident working with data. The push for self-service analytics has a fundamental flaw: it requires users to become data experts, which "takes years of hands-on effort."

None of these personas are building production data pipelines. They're all stuck at an earlier stage: discovery, understanding, and translation. The bottleneck isn't compute or tooling—it's the cognitive overhead of navigating complex data environments.
