Mine this engineer's own session telemetry for capability-fit recommendations (extract a new sub-agent, pin/downgrade a model tier, adopt or swap an existing capability, consolidate duplicates) and, on confirmation, write the accepted artifact into the working tree. Only run this when the user explicitly asks to optimize their toolkit, review capability-fit recommendations, or names this skill directly — do not trigger it opportunistically off a loose topical match.
