# Skill Authoring Guide
You are authoring a SKILL.md for an AI coding agent. A well-written skill provides clear, actionable guidance that agents can follow consistently.
## Core Principle
**A skill's description triggers it; the body teaches it.**
The description tells the agent WHEN to use the skill. The content tells the agent HOW to execute it.
