Your active context holds ~10 skills. The skill store holds everything else.
Use this CLI to browse, search, and pull skills on demand from
~/.skill-store/ — without polluting your context window.
Quick Start
skill-store list # what's available (not what's loaded)
skill-store search web # find by keyword
skill-store load <slug> # read a skill into context
