Guidance for authoring effective DeepTutor skills.
What a skill is
A skill is a self-contained capability package: a SKILL.md playbook plus
optional references/ files. The system prompt only carries each skill's
name + description; the model fetches the full body with the read_skill
tool when a task matches. Skills teach procedural knowledge — workflows,
domain expertise, format conventions — that no model fully possesses.
Behaviour/voice presets (tone, teaching style) are NOT skills — those are
personas, managed separately.
