Anthropic’s skills standardize how you augment your coding agent’s context with workflow- or tool-specific instructions. They’re just simple Markdown files, so they’re easy to read and write.

My friend Pavel and I built some tooling that packages skills as conda packages and manages them with pixi. That gives you lockfiles, version pinning, and the same supply chain security you already rely on, basically for free. Check out the blog post:
