How does it call upon the correct skill from a vast library of skills at the right time? Is this where RAG via embeddings / vector search come in? My mental mod

How does it call upon the correct skill from a vast library of skills at the right time? Is this where RAG via embeddings / vector search come in? My mental model is still weak in this area, I admit.
- visarga 11mo agoI think it has a compact table of contents of all the skills it can call preloaded. It's not RAG, it navigates based on references between files, like a coding agent.
- libraryofbabel 11mo agoThis is correct. It just puts a list of skills into context as part of the base prompt. The list must be compact because the whole point of skills is to reduce context bloat by keeping all the details out of context until they are needed. So the list will just be something like: 1) skill name, 2) short (like one sentence) description of what the skill is for, 3) where to find the skill (file path, basically) when it wants to read it in.
