alt Hacker Newsone thing that I am missing from the specification is a way to inject specific variables into the skills. If I create let's say a postgres-skill, then I can either (1) provide the password on every skill execution or (2) hardcode the password into my script. To make this really useful there needs to be some kind of secret storage that the agent can read/write. This would also allow me as a programmer to sell the skills that I create more easily to customers.

Why not the filesystem?
I would create a local file (e.g. .env) in each project using postgres, then in my postgres skill, tell the agent to check that file for credentials.
I have no clue how you’re running your agents or what you’re building, but giving the raw password string to a the model seems dubious?
Otherwise, why not just keep the password in an .env file, and state “grab the password from the .env file” in your Postgres skill?
