What it does
Guides you through writing a new skill or improving an existing one, including how to structure the folder and description, and how to check whether the skill triggers when it should.
Good for
Anyone building more than a couple of skills. If you only want to convert a prompt, the smaller prompt-to-skill on this site is enough.
