🤖 What is a Skill?

A Skill is an AI capability package that extends your AI assistant's abilities. When you ask the AI to do something, it automatically:

1. Recognizes the task from your natural language
2. Activates the appropriate skill
3. Executes the task using the skill's tools
4. Delivers results back to you
