Interesting. For Claude Code, this seems to have generous overlap with existing practice of having markdown "guides" listed for access in the CLAUDE.md. Maybe skills can simply make managing such guides more organized and declarative.

It superficially reminds me of the old "Alexa Skills" thing (I'm not even sure if Alexa still has "Skills"). It might just be the name making that connection for me.

If I understand correctly, looks like `skill` is a instructed usage / pattern of tools, so it saves llm agent's efforts at trial & error of using tools? and it basically just a prompt.
