From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill when the agent already knows the right topic, but still needs a safe and understandable way to do work. Agent actions are the operational boundary between conversational intent and real system side effects. Poor action design leads to vague capabilities, hard-to-recover failures, and agents invoking the wrong tool because names or contracts are ambiguous.
