From the source SKILL.md

Every human language is built on a finite inventory of contrastive sounds. Phonetics studies how those sounds are physically produced (articulatory), transmitted (acoustic), and perceived (auditory). Phonology studies how sounds function within a particular language -- which distinctions are meaningful, which are automatic, and how sounds interact with each other in sequence. This skill treats language-universal principles rather than any single language's system, making it applicable to any language a learner encounters.
