>kills are folders that include instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load when needed.

I hate how we are focusing on just adding more information to look up maps, instead of focusing on deriving those maps from scratch.

I think skills and also MCP to an extent are a UI failure. It's AI after all. It should be able to intelligently adapt to our workflow, maybe present it's findings and ask for feedback. If this means it's stored as a thing called "skills" that's perfectly fine, but it should just be an implementation detail.

I don't mean to be unreasonable, but this is all about managing context in a heavy and highly technical manner. Eventually models must be able to augment their training / weights on the fly, customizing themselves to our needs and workflow. Once that happens (it will be a really big deal), all of the time you've spent messing around with context management tools and procedures will be obsolete. It's still good to have fundamental understanding though!

Creating Planning Agents seems to force that approach.

Rather than define skills and execution agents, letting a meta-Planning agent determine the best path based on objectives.
