My experience with them is limited, but I’m having issues with the LLMs ignoring the skills content. I guess it makes sense, it’s like any other piece of context.

But it’s put a damper in my dream of constraining them with well crafted skills, and producing high quality output.

Yeah, the context window is a blunt instrument, everything competes for attention. I get better luck with shorter, more opinionated skills that front-load the key constraints vs. comprehensive docs that get diluted. Also explicitly invoking them (use the X skill) seems to help vs hoping they get picked up automatically

		Yes, unfortunately the most reliable way is to inject them into the user prompt at a fresh session. My guess is that biasing towards checking for the tools availability too much affects performance, which might explain why it is quite rarer that I see it just choose to use a skill without previous prompting.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out why some skills are used every day, while others are constantly ignored. I suspect partially overlapping skill areas might confuse it.

I've added a UserPromptSubmit hook that does basic regex matches on requests, and tries to interject a tool suggestion, but it's still not foolproof.
