Can agent Skills be repurposed to fragment repo context beyond 'things to do'?

Based on heavy company use of Claude and Antigravity, the author breaks down how agent Skills work: a Skill is packaged context with a short description; the agent reads the description first and only loads the full payload when relevant, keeping the context window lean.

The author proposes using Skills not just to define "things to do" but to fragment "things to know" across a repo, so agents get the right domain context per task instead of guessing. They ask whether such a pattern already exists.
