Rewrites vague or technical error messages into clear, actionable user-facing messages. Considers the audience (end-user vs developer), suggests error codes, and provides guidance on what the user can do to resolve the issue.
Generates comprehensive documentation from code including API references, README files, architecture decision records (ADRs), inline comments, and user guides. Adapts tone and detail level to the target audience (developers, end-users, stakeholders).
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
