The Engineering Manager's Depth Problem
You don’t need to know everything. You need to recover the context that matters, intervene at the right depth, and step back again.

- Context
- Agent skills quickly spread across tools, repositories, and local folders. It becomes hard to tell what each agent can actually use — and reusing a skill often means manually copying it into another agent-specific location.
- Decision
- Treat skills as managed sources and agent access as explicit exposure. Build one local inventory, import internal or external skill sources, and expose selected skills to Claude, Codex, or Copilot through managed symlinks.
- Outcome
- One terminal workflow to see what each agent can use, add a skill once, and expose or revoke it per agent without duplicating files.
