A skill is a set of instructions Claude Code can load for a particular task, written in a file named SKILL.md.\n\nClaude Code can now read an entry of the form server:scheme:... that ends in \/SKILL.md and split it into the server's name and the resource's address, its URI. This lets it tell that a resource offered by an MCP server is a skill.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is groundwork for MCP servers delivering skills to Claude Code as resources.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
