You do not want to re-explain your grandmother's cooking method every time a friend cooks with you. You write it down once — the order of steps, the small tricks, the temperatures — and next time you just say "use Grandma's recipe". A Skill is exactly that for Claude Code: your team's process written down once, packaged behind a short name, ready to be invoked with /your-skill-name any time you need it. The repeated explanation stops being a tax on your energy.
