Companion tools
These tools are not included in the plugin: they are separate projects, installed separately. /umd:kickoff suggests the ones that fit your route and installs them only with your approval. Skills cost almost nothing until they are used. An MCP server, on the other hand, adds its tools to every session: install it at project level, only for the route that needs it.
