Searches, retrieves, and installs Agent Skills from prompts.chat registry using MCP tools like search_skills and get_skill. Activates for finding skills, browsing catalogs, or extending Claude.
Searches prompts.chat for AI prompt templates by keyword or category, retrieves by ID with variable handling, and improves prompts via AI. Use for discovering or enhancing prompts.
Guides agent creation for Claude Code plugins with file templates, frontmatter specs (name, description, model), triggering examples, system prompts, and best practices.
Strategies and patterns for optimizing cloud costs across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Implement systematic cost optimization strategies to reduce cloud spending while maintaining performance and reliability.
