📖 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)?
