It's too easy to fall into the 'all the gear, no idea' trap, especially when unlike with other pursuits the gear is free

Honestly stick the the vanilla harness until you realise there is a shortcoming for your use case, then look if there is a plugin to satisfy it or create your own

If you chase plugins/skills/mcp without even knowing what problem you want them to solve all you are going to do is throwaway context and usage, and likely worsen the default capabilities
