📖 What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are .md files that turn any AI coding assistant into a specialized expert. They follow the open Agent Skills Standard.

Without Skill:  Generic AI assistant → Average code
With Skill:     Clean Code Architect → SOLID, tested, maintainable code ✨

Why Skills > Heavy MCP Servers (for knowledge)?

| Feature | MCP Server | SKILL.md | |---|---|---| | Token Usage | ~50,000 tokens | ~200 tokens | | Setup | Complex (Docker, env vars) | Drop into project | | Speed | Slower (API calls) | Instant (text) | | Portability | Tool-specific | Works everywhere |

💡 Pro Tip: Use Skills for knowledge/rules + MCP for actions/tools. Check our MCP Servers Hub!
