I find that even though this isn't standard, that these -cli tools will scan the repo for .md files and for the most part execute the skills accordingly. Having said that, I would much prefer standards not just for this, but for plugins as well.

This is happening as we speak.

Codex started this and OpenCode followed suit with the hour.

I mean, it'd be good if these tools followed the xdg base spec and put their config in `~/.config/claude` e.t.c instead of `~/.claude`.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves with a lot of these tools (now admittedly a lot of them have a config env var to override, but it'd be nice if they just did the right thing automatically).

Skills seem a bit early to standardize. We are so early in this, why do we want to handcuff our creativity so soon?

might be too early to standardize

standards are good but they slow development and experimentation

There are 14 competing standards.

Worse yet; opencode uses singular words by default:

    .opencode/skill
