I used Magic The Gathering as inspiration for how to organize agent skills

Key points

• I spent some time taking best practices from the past two years developing my projects with agent skills and centralized them in a repo so I can reuse them and standardize my projects.1
• In the process of doing that, I realized that skills exist in different scopes and timelines, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to organize skills usefully.1
• If you're not familiar with MTG abilities, firstly MTG is a complex card game, and secondly each card in the game has some text at the bottom which amounts to a special coding language.1
• Static Skills (called "passive" in my repo): These are skills which set general rules that should be applied all the time given the agent is working in a particular domain.1

  I realized that Magic The Gathering abilities have a lot of parallels to agent skills, so I did some experiments separating skills into three categories that MTG uses: activated, static, and triggered.
