Earlier quoted context omitted.

Skills are not (only) just prompts, the more advanced skills have scripts or other assets as well.

Scripts are just text; skills are just text. Scripts can be inlined with the skill. Agent can create its own temp dir and extract the script to run. Don't overthink it; it's all just text. I want to serve the text from HTTP instead of having to deploy via `git` and sync. I want to be able to dynamically generate that text on the server based on the identity of the user, their role, what team they're in, what repo the…

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is anything in the skills spec that prohibits a skill from having binaries? A skill may even choose to embed them to be able to run in sandboxed environments.

Agreed on skills not being static. Of course, with the way the internet works, I don't want them to be too dynamic either :)

I wish all of the tooling vendors would support MCP prompts because that would solve this problem and provide a very good way of delivering aggregate feeds of skills -- dynamically, even. Codex, for example, currently does not support this[0]. Then we can just point to an MCP server and have the MCP server dynamically compose the set of skills without needing to do any syncs, git sub-modules, etc. [0] https://github.…

Why stop at skills though? If you are trying to solve the provisioning problem for agent tools, shouldn't that also include MCP, commands, hooks, rules, etc in addition to skills?
