Skillable systems

Skillable is scalable.

When method, tool, fixture, and proof travel together, another agent can repeat the work.

Evidence

The package carries the work.

Instructions, scripts, evals, assets, and gates become a portable operating surface.

Alternatives

Retrieval helps. Packaging scales.

Vector search and automation are useful layers. They do not replace the procedure.

Reuse gets cheaper after the gate exists.

The first skill costs more than a prompt. Every reuse after that compounds.

Handoff

Make the work portable.

Write the skill, add one helper, prove one command, publish the artifact.

1Name the repeated workflow.
2Move procedure and proof into files.
3Hand the source to the next agent.
