The premise
Claude Skills let teams package reusable, model-loadable domain procedures so Claude can pick up the right capability for the right task without bespoke prompting.
What AI does well here

- Enable Claude to search and load skills relevant to the user request
- Compose multiple skills for complex multi-step tasks
What AI cannot do
- Replace deterministic backend systems for safety-critical workflows
- Guarantee skill-selection accuracy across overlapping skill libraries
- Substitute for thoughtful skill authorship and maintenance
