- Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md and scripts first
- Project context (CLAUDE.md / product notes) for better outputs
Tips

- Audit SKILL.md and any bundled scripts before production use.
- Pair with verification (tests, review, screenshots) before shipping.
- Re-audit installed skills monthly to avoid context tax from unused packs.
