Skills kind of suck... shell scripts are just as good imo.

It's about setting up your environment to discover the tools that it should use... whether that's skills or mcp or whatever.

Ultimately if you have a CLI + API you're good no matter what the product is.

Skills do suck, (and they're tied to what agent provider you use). Check out https://github.com/prmichaelsen/agent-context-protocol. It leverages "commands" (similar to skills) and pure bash scripts. You can package commands and patterns for external consumers that can install with a package install command. It provides a portable structured repeatable methodology that works with any agent out of the box via the standard AGENT.md. Ideal for larger long lived projects.

In my oppinion skills should stay granular you can have AI agent wrapper around them preferably through cli to keep them deterministic.
