From the source SKILL.md

Reads every SKILL.md under your .claude/skills/, classifies each skill's LLM-bearing roles with a fixed taxonomy, then applies the Switchboard routing rule to decide which (and only which) sub-tasks are safe to run on a cheap local model instead of Claude. It emits two artifacts: a human-readable inventory (markdown, grouped by routing verdict) and a switchboard config (enabled_call_sites map) that the switchboard local_judge client loads directly.

What this skill does

Tier Offload is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/tier-offload/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Browse related skills at /category/general/.
