Agent Skills auto-discover SKILL.md files

Hot take: this is the kind of feature that makes an AI coding agent feel repo-native instead of prompt-native. It matters more than flashy UI because it turns tribal knowledge into a repeatable system the agent can load automatically.

• –Augment is treating behavior as configuration: skills bundle domain knowledge, workflow steps, and tool usage into files the agent can discover on its own.
• –Support for `.augment/skills`, `.claude/skills`, and `.agents/skills` lowers migration friction and makes the feature portable across agent stacks.
• –The real payoff is less repetitive prompting and fewer bespoke instructions per task, especially on teams with established internal workflows.
• –The catch is governance: auto-loading only helps if skills stay scoped, current, and deduplicated, or the agent inherits noise instead of signal.
