Questions people ask
What makes a good skill?
A good skill is narrow enough to trigger correctly and specific enough to change the quality of the output.
How many sources is enough?
Use enough sources to ground the workflow without making the agent sort through irrelevant material.
Should examples be broad or narrow?
Narrow examples usually work better. Build one skill for PR review and another for UI review instead of one generic coding skill.
Can I reuse one source in multiple skills?
Yes. A product brief might belong in sales, marketing, support, and onboarding skills.
