What is Statsig?

Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.

Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

What is WorkOS?

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.

◆ Current state

Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is agent-operated experimentation. MCP covering segments and layers means an agent can configure targeting, and the skills repository means the multi-step workflows around that configuration are distributable artifacts rather than documentation. Statsig is betting the console is not where experiments get set up much longer.

◆ Prediction

Expect the skills catalog to grow toward the analysis side — reading experiment results and proposing rollout decisions, not just creating objects. The query-abort work suggests warehouse cost control is a live concern as agent-driven usage increases.

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

◆ Current state

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent work is the strategic line. Registration gives an agent an identity of its own instead of a borrowed human session; the token proxy means an application acting for a user never holds the credential. Together they describe a stack where an agent can be authorized, audited and revoked as a first-class principal. The human-auth releases are conversion and migration work — the deliverability check and SCIM Bridge both remove reasons a customer stalls — which is what a developer-infrastructure company does while its next category is still forming.

◆ Prediction

Registration and the token proxy leave scoping and revocation as the visible gaps, so expect per-agent permissions or consent surfaces next. Whether auth.md gains adoption beyond WorkOS is not something these entries can answer.
