1/**
2 * An agent's skills in its instructions (docs.g1t.sh/guides/agent-skills/,
3 * "How agents use skills"), loaded progressively: the prompt lists each
4 * skill that is on by its name and when to use it, and the agent reads a
5 * skill with `use_skill` when a request matches. So a hundred skills cost a
6 * line each, not their whole text, on every reply.
7 *
8 * Its skills are g1t's foundational ones (@g1t/contracts skills.ts) that
9 * are on, then the library's that reach it (skill-library.ts): attached to
10 * it, to a team it is on, or to the whole workspace, each at the version
11 * its attachment pins, at most `SKILLS_PER_AGENT_MAX`.
12 *
13 * A skill never adds a tool: the tools offered are the tool box's, decided
14 * before this runs, and a skill whose tools aren't offered here says so
15 * when it is read. Skills with scripts need the agent's own computer,
16 * which isn't here yet: they are marked, and their scripts are never run.
17 *
18 * `shelfFrom`, `skillsSection` and `skillText` are pure, so they are tested
19 * on their own.
