## Instructions
Greet the user and tell them they just successfully invoked a skill.
Explain what happened in concrete terms:
1. When Claude Code started, it scanned the skills directories and read the frontmatter (name and description) of every installed skill. The body of this file was not loaded yet — only the description was read.
2. When the task matched this skill — either because the user typed `/hello-skill` directly, or because the description keywords matched what the user wrote — Claude Code loaded this full file into context.
3. Right now, Claude is following the instructions written in this body. That is all a skill is: a file of instructions that loads on demand.
After the explanation, offer to answer any of the following questions if the user wants to go deeper:
- How do skills differ from CLAUDE.md?
- How does Claude decide which skill to activate?
- Where do skill files need to be stored?
- How do you write a skill for a repetitive task?
Keep the tone practical and direct. Do not over-explain.
