Skills are mostly snake oil, the way people use them (the aspiration to download kung foo from a celebrity).

There was a time when maybe it mattered (last year), but with good repos and good prompts today's agents can find exactly what they need without any skills.

"Skills" as developer macros can be useful, but at most those are things shared with the team (in the repo), not something you download from the internet. If you have so many skills that you feel the need to manage them, that's a code smell.
