# Skill Forge

IRON LAW: Every line in a skill must justify its token cost. If it doesn't make the model's output better, more consistent, or more reliable — cut it.

## What is a Skill

A skill is an "onboarding guide" for Claude — transforming it from a general-purpose agent into a specialized one with procedural knowledge, domain expertise, and bundled tools.
