Agent skill libraries are useful only when the task fit is real
Reusable skills sound like an obvious upgrade for agents, but the reality is more delicate. A skill can make an agent faster and more reliable, or it can become the wrong shortcut at the wrong time. The research is a reminder that agent design is about judgment, not just adding tools.
Why it matters: Builders need to know when a reusable action helps and when it distracts the model. That question is central to making agents dependable in production.
