Key points
- Skills utilize short summaries for selection, resulting in lower context usage compared to documentation.
- Documentation often requires the AI to load significant context to locate necessary information.
- Skills are frequently actionable instructions, while documentation is rarely actionable, often due to poor documentation quality.
- Skills require explicit instructions to function effectively.
