Metadata helps agent decide when skill applies. Body gives workflow after skill triggers. Optional references, scripts, and assets carry deeper context.\n\n## Marketing use\n\nGood candidates:\n\n- Source verification\n- Research brief creation\n- Tool-profile review\n- Campaign QA\n- Brand voice editing\n- Analytics investigation\n\nOne-off request can remain prompt. Repeated method with defined inputs, outputs, checks, and stop conditions belongs in skill.\n\n## Design rule\n\nKeep skill narrow. One source-verification skill can support article agent, comparison agent, trend agent, and catalog-refresh agent without copying evidence policy into four places.\n\n## Evidence state\n\nFormat description follows published Agent Skills specification. No cross-client compatibility test is attached yet."}
