Description
problem
skills are not reliably available at the start of a task, and sometimes also not available mid-task
mid-task example: https://posthog.slack.com/archives/C09G8Q32R6F/p1777558624102649
(i'll find some reports of task-start issues)
something somewhere is flakey, we should find and fix that so skills are always available when they should be
