One install command and my AI agent would know about everything.</p> <p>I installed 21 of the skills and 25 of the agents. Here's why the other 271 skills were a liability, not a bonus.</p> <h2> More skills, worse choices </h2> <p>An agent picks skills by reading their short descriptions and matching them to the task. Every installed skill is a candidate at every decision.</p> <p>The full pack would have taken my skill index from 56 t
