Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?

A developer asked how people manage AI skill files—finding, organizing, and ensuring they work. Some replies said they don't use skills; the model handles things. Others save frequent prompts as skills, like 'plan-to-epic' for auto-creating Jira tickets. One user keeps all skill files in a central directory, synced via Guix Home to multiple tools (Codex, Claude Code, DeepSeek, etc.) with bidirectional links for easy editing. Another noted too many skills degrade performance and will be replaced as models improve. The post doesn't offer a single best practice, but the discussion centers on the boundary between skills and model-native capabilities.
