name: meal-planner
description:Plan a week of meals from what's in my fridge. Use when I ask what to cook.

When I ask for a meal plan:
  1. Ask what's in the fridge
  2. Check my saved preferences
  3. Plan 5 dinners that share ingredients

Always:
  - Keep it under 30 min cook time
  - Include a grocery list for anything missing

This is a skill.

A skill is a reusable prompt that tells your AI how to handle one thing. Your AI only loads what it needs, when it needs it: the name and description first, then the full instructions, then any extra references on demand. Like a recipe book you don't have to read cover to cover.

Lead reply, triage ticket, code review, whatever. Same idea: one job, one file, written so the agent can load it when that job shows up.

Same AI. Different skill.

The only thing that changed is the quality of the instructions.

Weak skill
I've got chicken, rice, and some vegetables. What should I make this week?
Here are some meal ideas! You could make a stir fry, or maybe a casserole, or chicken soup. There are lots of options! What cuisine do you prefer? Do you have any dietary restrictions? How many people are you cooking for?
Strong skill
I've got chicken, rice, and some vegetables. What should I make this week?
Here's 5 dinners using what you have, all under 30 min. Monday: chicken stir fry. Tuesday: fried rice with leftover chicken. Wednesday: veggie rice bowls. You'll just need soy sauce and sesame oil. Here's the full list.

Same model. Same user. The skill made the difference.

Every word gets read.

When your AI loads a skill, it reads every word, the structure, the phrasing, the order. All of it shapes behavior. Getting that right is a craft. SkillsCake is really, really good at it.

A real skill has layers: rules, examples, edge cases, tone. Skip one and the model fills in whatever sounds plausible. Plausible isn't the same as right.

We work in slices: one demoable outcome per pass, so the weak spots surface before your user does.

Drop it in. Use it.

Your skill is a folder. Drop the folder where your AI keeps skills. That's it.

Plus Goose, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and 30+ more. See agentskills.io for the full list. No lock-in. No proprietary format.

Only a skill file or folder goes in. We don't sell your data and we don't train on it.

Skills? Piece of cake.
