The debate over tool integration centers on whether to prioritize skills and CLI commands over direct MCP context injection, with some users dismissing the latter as an outdated and inefficient practice. While proponents of skills favor the potential for subagents to save context, critics warn that avoiding "fat" MCP servers might inadvertently break caching and prove "penny wise, pound foolish" by sacrificing cheaper, information-rich queries. Ultimately, the discussion highlights a technical tension between the perceived modularity of skill-based architectures and the cost-effective performance of cached context.
