Keep them short. Skills load when relevant: procedures, checklists, house style. Reach for a skill when the model needs to <em>follow</em> something but only sometimes needs it loaded. Tools are typed, executable behavior: anything that must be correct every time belongs in tool code, not in prose the model might paraphrase.</p><p>A good skill description is a routing rule, not a title.
