Skills

Skills are reusable, structured playbooks for common tasks. They reduce repeated prompt-writing and make outcomes more consistent across the team.

When to use

• You repeat the same kind of tasks (docs creation, config updates, repo conventions)
• You want consistent outputs and guardrails (security, style, verification)
• You want to reduce mistakes in multi-step work

When not to use

• The task is one-off and small
• The skill would require embedding sensitive context (don’t do that)

Useful guide

• Ensure skills include constraints and verification steps.
• Keep skills repo-agnostic when possible.
• Update skills when conventions change.
