Tips for Implement
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
