This approach allows agents to load only the necessary components for a given task, significantly reducing token usage and improving efficiency. The Makefile structure naturally creates a directed acyclic graph, simplifying task sequencing and enabling better tracking and improvement of individual agent skills. AI

    Your AI Agent Is Loading Too Much — SKILL.mk Fixes That

    <h2> The Problem Nobody Talks About </h2> <p>If you're building with AI coding agents — think Claude Code, Copilot, or custom agent frameworks — you've probably written a SKILL file. These are instruction documents that teach your agent <em>how</em> to do things: search the web, …
