From the source SKILL.md

Poetry is language under maximum pressure. Every word carries more weight than in prose because there are fewer of them and each occupies a more conspicuous position. The line, not the sentence, is the fundamental unit. Sound matters as much as sense. Form -- whether inherited or invented -- is not a container for content but a participant in meaning. This skill covers fixed and open forms, prosody, sound devices, figurative language, imagery, and the poetics of the line.
