Add VERCEL_PLUGIN_DISABLED_SKILLS env var to opt out of specific skills
@Melkeydev is already working on this.

Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
Problem
The plugin ships ~30 skills, some of which (like next-forge) match aggressively on common patterns — @repo/, keys.ts, env.ts, proxy.ts, monorepo, pnpm-workspace, etc. In repos that aren't next-forge but happen to use similar conventions, the skill fires repeatedly through both UserPromptSubmit lexical matching and SessionStart import/path detection.
Currently the only way to suppress a single skill is to delete its directory from the plugin cache (and patch generated/skill-manifest.json), which gets clobbered on every plugin update.
Proposed
An env var like VERCEL_PLUGIN_DISABLED_SKILLS=next-forge,chat-sdk that:
- excludes those skills from
user-prompt-submit-skill-inject.mjscandidate matching - excludes them from
session-start-profiler.mjssuggestion mapping - excludes their context chunks in
vercel-context.mjs
It would mirror the existing VERCEL_PLUGIN_LIKELY_SKILLS shape (comma-separated skill names), just inverted.
Use case
Yarn 4 monorepo unrelated to next-forge that was triggering the skill on proxy.ts edits, monorepo discussion, and keys.ts references — none of which are actionable for that project.
