Agent-Skills

Your agent is not slow because it has too many tools. It is paying three separate bills — a resident attention tax charged every turn, a compaction debt charged by the fix, and a measurement illusion that hides whether the capability package was worth anything. A cited accounting of all three, and a decision procedure keyed to which one you are actually paying.

An agent can return the right answer while its Skill runtime remains unobservable. A practical guide to evidence-graded reconstruction, versioned adapters, and the deterministic core that reliable Agent Skill infrastructure needs.
