About Skills
Skills are modular packages that extend Qwen Code's capabilities through organized folders containing instructions (and optionally scripts/resources).
Core Principles
Concise is Key
The context window is shared. Only add context Qwen doesn't already have.

Skill Creation Process
Step 1: Understand the Skill
- What concrete examples will use this skill?
- What triggers should activate it?
Step 2: Plan Reusable Contents
- What scripts would help?
- What references are needed?
- What templates would be useful?
Step 3: Initialize (Qwen Code)
mkdir -p ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill
Step 4: Edit SKILL.md
