SkillAI & models

An example user-invoked skill that demonstrates frontmatter options and the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Example Command (Skill Format) skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thevibeworks/claude-code-docs in content/github/claude-plugins-official/plugins/example-plugin/skills/example-command/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

This demonstrates the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout for user-invoked slash commands. It is functionally identical to the legacy commands/example-command.md format — both are loaded the same way; only the file layout differs.
