GoKawiilHow do you find skills, keep them organized, and make sure they actually work? Do you keep improving them over time?
I believe skills will eventually be eating by model capabilities, but until then I'm just looking for a better way to manage things.
Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
Why This Matters
An Ask HN thread surfaces a practical pain point emerging around agentic AI tooling: developers are accumulating 'skills' files for their models and lack established conventions for discovering, organizing, testing, and iterating on them. The poster also raises the open question of whether such scaffolding is a temporary crutch that improving model capabilities will absorb.
Key Takeaways
- Developers want better workflows for finding, organizing, and validating AI agent skills files.
- Maintaining and improving skills over time is an unsolved, largely manual process.
- There's an open debate on whether model capability gains will make skills files obsolete.
