Hi there,

I was looking at the documentation, and particularly, this post:

> **[Context hierarchy](https://docs.letta.com/guides/agents/context-hierarchy/)**
>
> Understand how Letta prioritizes different context sources in the agent's context window.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t include “skills”. There’s a grey area where a memory block might be better a skill, or a skill a memory block.

But mostly, perhaps memory blocks get higher precedence or priority than skills in terms of how Letta manages memory and context window.

What do you guys think?

@letta - I’d love to see this documentation page updated to include skills.

Thanks,

Mike
