Coverage Gaps — Skills Needed for Q3 2026
High Priority
- Agent Security & Safety: No dedicated skill for prompt injection defense, output filtering, or agent sandboxing. Critical as agents handle more sensitive tasks.
- Agent Evaluation Framework: No standardized skill for evaluating agent output quality, running benchmarks, or A/B testing agent configurations.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: While autonomous-ai-agents exists, there’s no dedicated skill for agent-to-agent communication protocols, task decomposition patterns, or agent marketplace integration.
- Cost Optimization: No skill for tracking and optimizing LLM API costs, token budgeting, or model selection based on cost/performance tradeoffs.
Medium Priority
- Data Pipeline Automation: No skill for building ETL pipelines, data quality checks, or automated data processing workflows.
- API Design & Documentation: No skill for designing REST/GraphQL APIs, generating OpenAPI specs, or creating developer documentation.
- Incident Response: No skill for handling production incidents, running post-mortems, or managing on-call workflows.
- Compliance & Governance: No skill for AI governance, model cards, bias auditing, or regulatory compliance documentation.
Low Priority
- Video Content: No skill for video script generation, editing workflows, or video publishing.
- Internationalization: No skill for multi-language content generation or localization workflows.

Recommendations
- Immediate: Un-archive and update mcporter, native-mcp, and fal-flux-model — these are needed for current workflows.
- Immediate: Create the agent-security skill covering prompt injection defense, output validation, and safe tool execution.
- Q3 Priority: Create the agent-evaluation skill with standardized benchmarks, LLM-as-judge patterns, and quality dashboards.
- Q3 Priority: Create the cost-optimization skill for token budgeting, model selection, and cost tracking.
- Ongoing: Every skill should have a SKILL.md file with trigger conditions, numbered steps, pitfalls, and verification steps.
