Most modern LLM's can deal with .md, .rst, .txt, and even .html
(although I don't recommend HTML mostly because it's more
token-inefficient and it's easier to insert prompt-injection attacks
in the form of 1 point text that is a lot harder for humans to notice).

My preference is agents/ because these skills really aren't docs at
all.  This is especially true if some of future skills invoke python
scripts.
