Show HN: SkillMesh (role-based tool routing for Claude/Codex)

[VarunReddy023]

Built this because loading full tool catalogs into coding agents was wasting context, and manual tool picking was annoying.

  SkillMesh flow is:
  1) install a role bundle
  2) route top-k tools/cards per prompt

  Example:
  skillmesh roles list
  skillmesh Data-Analyst install
  skillmesh emit --provider codex --query "build a KPI dashboard with governance" --top-k 5

  I ran a 10-task benchmark (BI/ML/DevOps):
  - all cards baseline: 5567.5 avg prompt tokens, 0.768s median latency
  - routed full catalog (top-k=5): 1485.3 tokens (-73.3%), 0.766s
  - role+routed (top-k=5): 1457.7 tokens (-73.8%), 0.171s, top-1 role match 9/10

  Would like feedback on failure cases:
  - wrong role selected
  - cross-domain prompts
  - MCP install/list UX
