GitHub's ARPAHLS team launched Skillware, a Python framework for installing AI capabilities as self-contained modules. This open-source tool decouples logic, cognition, and governance, allowing agents to load specialized skills like the new Prompt Token Rewriter. The rewriter slashes token costs and inference time by stripping conversational filler before LLM calls, operating 100% deterministically without extra model calls. Skillware supports Gemini, Claude, and Llama, addressing fragmented AI ecosystems where developers reinvent tool definitions.

Its registry and standardized schemas aim to become the 'app store' for agentic know-how.
