Hot-reload new tools into a running session by placing JSON tool schemas and shell implementations under core/tools, then calling reload_capabilities to apply changes immediately without restarts.

Dynamically add new skills to an active conversation by creating SKILL.md files with frontmatter containing a name and description under core/skills, then reloading capabilities to activate them on-the-fly.

Patch an existing tool on-the-fly by modifying its JSON schema and shell implementation files under core/tools, then execute reload_capabilities to test and deploy the updated functionality immediately.

Dynamic capability extension requires modular file formats: JSON schemas paired with shell implementations for tools, and SKILL.md files with frontmatter for skills, all placed under core directories.

Prototype new functionality for web servers or CLIs by creating tool and skill definitions in their core directories and using reload_capabilities, enabling rapid in-session iteration without restarts.

Runtime extension via reload_capabilities enables rapid prototyping, patching, and deployment of new tools and skills without restarts, maintaining active conversation state and accelerating development workflows.
