What are Skills?

Skills are markdown files that give AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows for specific tasks. When you add these to your project, your agent can recognize when you're working on a brand task and apply the right frameworks and best practices.

How Skills Work Together

Skills reference each other and build on shared context. The brand-context skill is the foundation — every other skill checks it first to understand the brand, audience, and positioning before doing anything.
