💡 What are Skills?
Skills are reusable instruction sets (in standard SKILL.md format) that teach your AI assistant how to handle specific tasks. For example:
- "Code Review Skill" — analyzes code for security issues and best practices
- "Research Assistant Skill" — structures academic paper summaries
- "Data Analysis Skill" — guides statistical interpretation workflows
Skills follow the open Agent Skills standard (agentskills.io), making them portable across compatible AI tools.
