   I also want to ask about the progress. I checked the codebase, and it seems that all skill invocations currently have to go through the Anthropics agent, which means I need an Anthropics API token or account. This setup feels overly closed.

   However, at the same time, I saw the explanation about agent skills in python/AGENTS.md, which ( showed below) suggests that skills can be invoked simply by placing them in the .github/skills folder. This is confusing to me.

   Agent Skills (.github/skills/) — detailed, task-specific instructions loaded on demand:

   • python-development — coding standards, type annotations, docstrings, logging, performance
   • python-testing — test structure, fixtures, async mode, running tests
   • python-code-quality — linting, formatting, type checking, prek hooks, CI workflow
   • ...

    Mark Wallace (@markwallace-microsoft) Great job! At present, I see that the implementation only includes load_skills and read_skill_resources two tools. Is there any plan to support run scripts in agent skills?
