Converted NoteDiscovery from MCP to Skill for more dynamic CRUD operations. MCP required restart for changes and had static tool definitions. Skill approach provides: natural language routing, on-demand context loading, composable operations, immediate extensibility via SKILL.md edits. Created ~/.claude/skills/notediscovery/ with SKILL.md (triggers, workflows, folder conventions) and client.py (HTTP client with session auth, auto-loads .env). Client supports search, read, save, delete, tags, graph operations plus convenience methods (append_to_note, search_or_create, note_exists). Credentials stored in .env with 600 permissions. Removed MCP from .mcp.json and mcp-manager skill registry.
