Skills can be just instructions how to do things.

BUT what makes them powerful is that you can include code with the skill package.

Like I have a skill that uses a Go program to traverse the AST of a Go project to find different issues in it.

You COULD just prompt it but then the LLM would have to dig around using find and grep. Now it runs a single executable which outputs an LLM optimised clump of text for processing.
