Skills Delivered Over MCP: Why Progressive Disclosure Is the Missing Piece of Both Standards
SKILL.md solved knowledge packaging with progressive disclosure. MCP solved capability transport but ships flat, context-hungry tool lists. The next shape combines them - an MCP server whose tools are a skill directory, so an agent pays context only for what the task needs. Here is the argument and a working implementation.
