Skills Directory
Welcome to the skills folder! This is where all 179+ specialized AI skills live.
🤔 What Are Skills?
Skills are specialized instruction sets that teach AI assistants how to handle specific tasks. Think of them as expert knowledge modules that your AI can load on-demand.
Simple analogy: Just like you might consult different experts (a designer, a security expert, a marketer), skills let your AI become an expert in different areas when you need them.
📂 Folder Structure
Each skill lives in its own folder with this structure:

How to Use Skills
Step 1: Make sure skills are installed

Step 2: Invoke a skill in your AI chat
Use the @ symbol followed by the skill name:
