I have a bad habit of writing a little skill file for something, using it twice, then completely forgetting which repo I left it in. Markdown scattered across nine projects like odd socks. So a couple of weekends back I finally did the tidy-up: gather the lot, push them into the public marketplace, delete the local copies, one source of truth, like a grown-up.
Very satisfying! Right up until the blog skills came up on the deletion list and I stopped dead.
The deletion list
Nothing was wrong with the plan, mind. The plan was precisely what I'd asked for, being carried out to the letter, which in my experience is usually the moment you find out the instruction was the problem.
The word doing the damage was "reusable". I'd never actually tested it against the blog skills, I'd just waved it through, because they were skills, and they were mine, and I was certainly reusing them... by me, in one repo, on one blog, to a set of habits nobody else on this earth has or particularly wants. That isn't reusable. That's just filed somewhere tidy.
