From the source SKILL.md

Agile is not a methodology. It is a family of methodologies united by a shared value system: responding to change over following a plan, working software over comprehensive documentation, individuals and interactions over processes and tools, customer collaboration over contract negotiation. The Agile Manifesto (2001) codified these values, but the practices predate it by decades — XP emerged in the late 1990s, Lean manufacturing in the 1950s, iterative development as far back as the 1930s (Shewhart cycle). This skill catalogs the major Agile frameworks, their mechanics, their failure modes,…
