MCP Skills Server
This server watches a mounted directory for skill definitions and exposes them through MCP resources and tools. Each skill lives in its own folder with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter and markdown content. The server hot-reloads when you edit these files, so you can update skills without restarting. You'd use this to maintain a library of reusable prompts, workflows, or domain knowledge that Claude can access on demand. The folder structure is strict: loose files get ignored, everything must be in a dedicated subfolder. Ships as a Docker container or runs via Poetry, configurable through environment variables for reload behavior, debounce timing, and log levels.
