### How they fit together

```
@gemstack/ai-sdk agent runtime (the "verbs")
@gemstack/ai-skills capability bundles (the composable "nouns") -> ai-sdk
@gemstack/ai-autopilot orchestration / autonomy (the "director") -> ai-sdk (+ skills)
@gemstack/ai-mcp agent <-> MCP bridge (the "adapter") -> ai-sdk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@gemstack/mcp standalone MCP server framework agent-agnostic, not ai-*
@gemstack/connectors connector contract (define once, mount many) -> mcp
@gemstack/connector-* first-party connectors (github, drive, ...) -> connectors
Two independent stacks. Arrows point to what a package depends on; nothing points "up."

```mermaid

subgraph fam["AI family · depends on the agent runtime"]
skills["<b>ai-skills</b><br/>capability bundles"] --> sdk["<b>ai-sdk</b><br/>agent runtime"]
autopilot["<b>ai-autopilot</b><br/>orchestration"] --> sdk
aimcp["<b>ai-mcp</b><br/>agent ↔ MCP bridge"] --> sdk

The `ai-` prefix means **"depends on the agent runtime."** `skills`, `autopilot`, and `ai-mcp` all depend on `ai-sdk`; `ai-sdk` depends on none of them, and nothing depends "up." A package about AI that is agent-agnostic (like `@gemstack/mcp`) is a peer of the family, not a member of it.
