I never use skills, I think they're kinda overrated, it's just text files?
I just tell my clanker what to do and how which is similar I think
Curious how you use skills to get new chats up to speed on repos? Or do you use huge compacted threads?
I keep all the details in a Markdown file I reference (deploy details, product intent, etc), but feel like there’s a missing opportunity to use a skill to train agents about repos (esp when I have to work with multiple repos for a feature)

I use skills for repeatable tasks, once an agent does something well i distill it into a skill and I have several per project for repetitive tasks, most of them aren't about coding or code review, but about agents using an API in a specific way or for browser / computer use
