I actually don't mean that skills are useless, I have them in my projects too. Just that any time I've seen one shared publicly, basically the introductory blurb of "what does this skill do?" would serve adequately as "the skill". Such is the nature of machines that understand natural language.

It makes it kind of funny publishing skills online because by the time somebody knows they want the skill, they already have it.

Projects like SkillOpt[1] are pretty good evidence that the ceiling for skills isn't "describe it in a sentence and let the LLM generate it". There's value in iterating on a skill and figuring out what the weak parts are. At that point, sharing the skill can indeed be useful. Just look at superpowers, GSD, etc. They're 'just' skills (and a few bash scripts), but the text in them is useful enough to share.
