- **No discovery mechanism** — users installing MCP servers from a registry don't know if there's a corresponding skill they should also install
- **Multi-server orchestration** — skills may need to coordinate tools from multiple servers, which doesn't fit the single-server instruction model
## Broader Context
Skills discoverability is a specific instance of a more general MCP challenge: context-as-resources discoverability and standardization of client host behavior around non-tool primitives. The ecosystem has largely optimized for tools, and patterns for how clients discover and consume other forms of context — including skills — remain underdeveloped. Solutions in this space are likely to have implications beyond skills alone.
## Key Use Cases
