We have more than 600 skills, spread across nearly 80 plugins. Anyone on the team can write one and publish it to a marketplace the rest of us install from. While reviewing the PRs that added these skills, our team kept leaving the same comments on skill after skill. The same feedback came up so often that it made sense to write it down once. So I built a skill that reviews skills, and we open sourced it today!

A few weeks ago, I deleted 93 skills in a single pull request. If you haven’t worked with them, a skill is a small bundle of instructions you hand to the model, a workflow you’ve written down once so it runs the same way every time, the kind of thing you’d reach for when you’re chasing down a flaky test, or pulling together the context for an incident at 2 am.
