The @skills protocol paper puts a number on the pressure, then proposes splitting skill delivery into content, persistence, and automatic triggering, so a skill is addressed by path and reading it is enough to use it. arXiv 2608.12610 Skip the protocol if you want. The design principle transfers today: keep only trigger stubs resident in your system prompt and move skill bodies behind on-demand reads.
