How skills work in Your Own AI
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and, often, supporting files - the Agent Skills open standard that Claude Code, Cursor and others read too. In a project, the AI sees every installed skill's description and reads one when the work calls for it. In chat, the AI carries a short list of its chosen skills and the full text of the one that fits your question, so a few chosen skills stay cheap. You choose which AIs use it. Everything runs on your own computer.
