CHAPTER 10 · Skills, MCP, and Deterministic Computation · 7 / 8
Connecting to the bigger picture
SkillLoader.summary() feeds the skills_summary slot Chapter 3 left open, and progressive disclosure is a direct application of Chapter 4's token discipline. The MCP registration plugs into Chapter 6's ToolRegistry, and the deferred-schema and ordering concerns tie back to Chapter 5's caching and Chapter 8's parallelism. Deterministic computation is the foundation Chapter 13's security agents and Chapter 16's verification principle build on: an agent cannot mark its own homework, so push the checkable parts into code. In the capstone, skills and an MCP tool both register through the same registry the loop already uses.
