I agree that that works pretty well for developers who work with a code repository everyday. But, if you're working on a mono-repo, you can end up with more skills loading than you'd like pretty quickily.

Have you had success with non-technical people using git as their primary sharing source?

My extension for pi https://github.com/gitsense/pi-brains solves the too many skills problem and it can be adapted to work with any coding agent that supports hooks like Claude and Codex.

You can find a simple example at https://github.com/gitsense/gsc-rules-demos which shows how skills can be injected when needed. The example is:

"read the file at data/accounting/q1.ledger and explain what this ledger tracks"

If you know what the use needs to read or edit, you can inject knowledge/skills for the agent.

Git has easy to use GUI tools, particularly if you’re willing to use GitHub. I have not had trouble getting non technical staff to use it (book editors, graphic designers, writers, copywriters)

yeah skills overwhelming is a problem. Splitting into sub-dirs works for now.

For us it's mostly developers.
