Problem Statement
## Problem
Every session injects the full list of available skills into the system prompt,
consuming tokens even when most skills are never used in that session.
Proposed Solution
Proposed Solution
Only list skills on-demand — either:
- A
/skillscommand that lists available skills when needed, or - Skills announced only when a relevant keyword is detected, or
- A per-plugin opt-in flag like
"lazyLoad": truein plugin settings
## Impact
Currently 40–50 skill entries are injected every turn. With on-demand loading,
this would drop to ~0 unless explicitly requested.
## Workaround
Disabling unused plugins reduces the list, but core plugins (superpowers)
still inject skills regardless.
