As someone who has found skills useful, seeing skills like this[0] raises the same question about (a subset of) skills as did MCP: why not just have the agent run ‘tool --help’?

The point is for the agent to have an index of available skills so that it can decide autonomously if it needs to load one.

In my experience it doesn’t work too well with codex, but I expect llm providers to train them on that use case and improve the situation soon.
