Is it so unusual to just ... not ... load the file with a description of them all automatically, but have different files listing different ones for different situations, and manually point to them in prompts?

Depends on how the harness injects those files. All harnesses these days auto-discover "skills" and read them anyway, and inject their descriptions, at the very least. Which leads to this anyway: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49183906

But yeah. You could have files with skills outside of the auto-discovered skill tree, and invoke them manually.
