Manage Pi skills

abstract: In order to keep the context window as small as possible, it is preferable to avoid loading any skills not necessary for the task at hand.

To avoid default loading of skills, move them from .pi/agent/skills.md to .pi/agent/skills-optional/whatever.md

And then explicitly load as needed, for example:

  # One skill
  # to do graphics remotely using the cloud.
  pi --skill --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-protocol ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-gen

  # The full bailian family
  pi --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-protocol \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-cli

 # To interrogate your account status
    pi --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-protocol \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-cli \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-gen \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-finetune \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-managed-agent

Load the SSH extension:

  pi -e npm:pi-better-ssh

Both together, plus a one-shot prompt:

  pi -e npm:pi-better-ssh \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-protocol \
     --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-gen \
     "generate an image of a cat with bl image"

Convenience alias (optional, add to ~/.bashrc):

  alias pi-full='pi -e npm:pi-better-ssh --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-protocol --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-cli --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-gen
--skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-finetune --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/bailian-managed-agent'

⚠️ Note: if you later run bl skill init / bl skill add, it may reinstall the skills into ~/.pi/agentsskills/, which would re-enable default loading — just move them back to ~/.pi/agent/skills-optional/ if that happens.

To deliberately render them accessible once again ln -s ~/.bailian/skills/bailian-cli ~/.pi/agent/skills/bailian-cli
