Agent performance tanked after one team loaded 600+ skills at startup

A team debugging poor agent performance found the culprit was startup bloat: they were loading 600+ skills at once, including every skill shared in their internal repos.
The post is short, but the implication is practical: an overloaded skill set can hurt agent behavior and startup performance, so skill selection and loading strategy matter in real systems.
