Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: installing, listing, searching, or getting details of skills. There is no ambiguity between them.
All tools start with 'skills_' and use a verb pattern, but 'skills_get_details' mixes verb_noun while others are single verbs. This is a minor inconsistency.
Four tools is a concise and well-scoped set for managing skills, covering the essential operations without being too few or excessive.
The set covers install, list, search, and details, but lacks an uninstall or remove tool, which is a notable gap for full lifecycle management.
