From the source SKILL.md

Operations is the function that transforms inputs into outputs at acceptable cost, quality, and timing. Lean is the body of thought — rooted in the Toyota Production System (TPS) — that treats waste elimination as the primary operational lever, and flexibility as the route to scale that mass production cannot match. This skill catalogs the core TPS techniques with worked examples, contrasts lean against Ford's mass-production template, and gives decision guidance for when each applies.

What this skill does

Operations And Lean is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the agile sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/operations-and-lean/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when diagnosing operational waste, designing production flows, setting up quality systems, or comparing batch-and-queue to one-piece flow.
