Thanks, Ashish, for the suggestions. Using the AI agent skills set as an OFBiz plugin is a great idea.
Alternatively, I was thinking we could include these skills sets directly in the OFBiz root directory. For instance, for the Antigravity/Gemini agent, we could place them in a .agents/skills/ folder at the root level. This approach avoids the need for symlinking files from a plugin folder and ensures that the skills are ready for immediate use upon checkout.
