Skills-ContextManager
Don’t pollute your AI agent’s context with 1,000 skills. Use Skills-ContextManager, a self-hosted web UI for managing AI skills and workflows by providing skills to an AI agent via MCP only when needed. Simply add skills to your library and enable or disable them with a toggle. Choose whether a skill is always loaded into context or dynamically activated when the AI agent determines it’s needed.
