## How Skills Work

1. **Metadata** - Always available to Claude (name + description)
2. **Instructions** - Loaded when skill triggers (SKILL.md)
3. **Resources** - Loaded as needed (scripts, references, templates)

Claude automatically selects the right skill based on your request. You can also explicitly request a skill by name.
