CRITICAL: All skill files MUST use Unix line endings (LF, \n) only. Never use Windows line endings (CRLF, \r\n).

When to Create a Skill

Create a skill when:

• You've refined an approach through repeated use and want consistent application
• Quality requires specific materials (templates, examples, domain knowledge)
• Task involves complex multi-piece setups requiring coordinated requirements
• You want to package expertise for automatic activation

Don't create a skill for:

• One-off exploratory tasks
• Simple tasks better handled by regular prompting
• General preferences (use Custom Instructions instead)
• Accumulated context over time (use Projects instead)
