What is a skill in AI tools?
A skill is a packaged set of instructions, sometimes with files, that an AI loads when a task needs it, so it does that job the same careful way every time.
In real life
Like a recipe card in a kitchen drawer: the cook doesn't memorise every dish, but pulls out the right card when someone orders it.
Try it yourself
Book a table for 2 at an Italian place near me on Friday at 7pm.
