Best Practices

• Search before build - Always check existing resources first

• Prefer maintained - Choose skills with recent updates

• Check quality - Review SKILL.md structure and content

• Consider combining - Multiple simple skills > one complex custom

• Verify security - Review MCP permissions and token scopes
