I do, I like to know how badly my agents' context is wasted and what unexpected side effects to watch for (like, "always start with ${clitool} --help" == always waste few hundred tokens when even touching the skill; or instructions asking it to do something that generalize into stupid thing in larger context).
If those skills were unreadable, however, that would imply proper engineering - like e.g. the skills themselves being an output of iterative RL over set of evals.
I don't think unreadable skills implies proper engineering at all. It's just as or more likely that they're the result of a blind iterative process with no clear improvement signal. (And whether iterative RL over a set of evals is actually proper engineering here is another question...)

I'd put it like this: regardless of the merit of how they're applied, it would at least demonstrate possession of the advanced skills expected of experienced software engineers.
