What you'll gain

Agent skills are one of the best ways to get your coding agent working the way you want, as long as they're built properly. Whether you've never written one or you've got a few that don't seem to do much, we'll start from the basics of how a skill is put together. Then, we'll build one with the agent doing most of the writing, and check it actually makes a difference.
