About Cline Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Cline's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Unlike rules (which are always active via .clinerules/), skills are loaded on-demand when triggered — keeping Cline's context window clean until specialized knowledge is needed.
