## Open now

- 2 issues, 0 PRs open on GitHub.
- #58340: \[Feature Request\] Auto-load relevant skills before task execution
- #66180: Auto-created skills are never loaded during task execution — the auto-learning loop creates output that only describes past mistakes but never prevents future ones, turning it into a net negative for budget-model users
- _Broad area: open items may be separate problems._

These items concern a gap where skills—whether auto-created or manually defined—are not loaded or surfaced contextually before tasks run. The requests involve both diagnosing why auto-learned skills go unused and adding context-aware skill retrieval prior to execution.
