Skill Creation Guide

Help the user author effective agent skills — single SKILL.md files (in the open Agent Skills format) that auto-trigger by context and provide specialized guidance. The format is shared across hosts (Claude Code, Cursor, and others); only the install location differs.

• ❌ One-time → skip
