Tips

  • Keep descriptions/triggers tight so XLSX / Excel Spreadsheets fires only when relevant (avoids context tax).
  • Prefer one sharp job over a mega-skill that tries to do everything.
  • Pair with verification (tests, review, screenshots) before shipping outputs.
  • Re-audit installed skills monthly — unused skills still cost context every turn.
