Can I create executable scripts with this plugin?

Yes, it guides you in organizing Python or Bash scripts within the 'scripts/' directory to handle tasks requiring deterministic reliability.

How does this skill help with context window efficiency?

It implements progressive disclosure, moving large datasets into reference files that are only loaded when Claude specifically needs them, saving valuable tokens.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that allows developers to provide tools and data sources to AI models like Claude through a standardized server-client interface.

What is the difference between a Skill and an MCP?

Skills are Markdown-based packages used for specialized workflows and domain knowledge, while MCPs are server-based plugins that provide persistent tools and external API integrations.
