Common questions about connecting and running Rkdpa Local Skills.
What is lazy loading in the context of this MCP server?
Lazy loading means skills are only loaded into memory when you actually need them, rather than all at startup. This keeps your context efficient and reduces memory overhead when working with many local skills.
How do I set up local skills for this server to discover?
Install via `npx local-skills-mcp@0.2.1` and point the server to your local skills directory. The server will automatically discover and index available skills without requiring manual registration.
Can I use this server with custom or proprietary skills?
Yes, the server is designed for universal local filesystem skills. As long as your skills are stored locally and follow the expected format, the server can discover and execute them.
What's the difference between this and just loading all skills at startup?
Lazy loading only brings skills into memory when needed, reducing initial startup time and context window usage. This is especially valuable when you have many skills but only use a subset in any given session.
Does this server require authentication or API keys?
No authentication is mentioned in the registry metadata. The server operates on local filesystem access, so setup is straightforward—just install and point it to your skills directory.
