- **Prompt**: the written instructions you give the model.
- **Skill**: a text file that tells the agent how to do one job, with
instructions and examples. In Magpie, writing skills is the main work.
- **MCP server**: a small running program that connects an agent to one
external service — like GitHub, Slack, or Gmail — using a shared set of
rules (the Model Context Protocol, or MCP) instead of custom one-off code
for each service. The agent acts as a *client*: it sends the MCP server
requests like "list open issues" or "post this message," and the server
carries that action out against the real service. Agents find the right
MCP server through a config file the runtime reads at startup.
- **Deterministic and probabilistic**: normal code is *deterministic*, so the
same input always gives the same result. An agent is *probabilistic*, so the
same input can give slightly different results each time.
