| 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. | |
