Are you sure, i thought skill were loaded into the main context, unlike (sub)agents. According to Claude they're loaded into the main context. Do you have link?

No, just their header / when they should be invoked, the actual contents of the skill is never loaded in the main context.
Unless claude decides a skill is needed, then it loads the additional details into the main context to use. It's basically lazy loading into main context.
