Too many skills? · Clief Notes

Too many skills?

In my efforts to build more autonomous systems, I’ve been developing a large collection of skills - and I think following the designs being taught in this community.

Now I’m sitting at like 130 skills and getting concerned about context window issues as well as errors I’m seeing from codex, Claude and other coding clis that I’ve gone over some skills budget values.

I have been playing around with the notion of a ‘skills on demand’ style library approach where a skill is lightly defined and the Claude.md/skills.md file is used to identify the necessary skills for a task and then calls/loads them into context to use.

I haven’t done a good search of existing tools but I figured I would ask here first to see if someone has tackled this issue and how, or what completely failed so I can avoid that in my own effort.

Thanks!
