Skills FAQs

Question 1

How does Skills enhance AI code assistants?

Accepted Answer

Skills improves AI code assistants by enabling runtime skill discovery, providing automatic recommendations tailored to your project's specific toolchain, and dynamically loading skills only when needed. This optimizes performance and ensures the AI always has the most relevant tools at hand.

Question 2

What is Skills (mcp-skills)?

Accepted Answer

Skills is a standalone Python application that provides intelligent, context-aware functionalities to AI code assistants. It uses a unique hybrid RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) approach, combining vector search and knowledge graphs for dynamic discovery and on-demand loading of skills.

Question 3

What is the 'hybrid RAG' approach used by Skills?

Accepted Answer

The hybrid RAG in Skills leverages both a Vector Store (ChromaDB) for fast semantic search over skill descriptions and a Knowledge Graph (NetworkX) to understand skill relationships, dependencies, and category/toolchain associations. This combination leads to highly accurate and context-aware skill discovery.

Question 4

Is Skills difficult to set up for a new project?

Accepted Answer

No, Skills features a 'Zero Config' setup. The `mcp-skills setup` command interactively handles everything automatically, including detecting your project's toolchain, cloning relevant skill repositories, building indices, and configuring the MCP server integration.

Question 5

Can Skills manage skills from various sources and optimize loading?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Skills supports multi-source management, allowing it to pull skills from multiple Git repositories. It also features on-demand skill loading, ensuring that skills are loaded only when they are actively required, which optimizes performance and reduces startup overhead for your code assistant.
