I don't have anything that I'd share publicly, due to the 
specific nature of the work I'm doing, but in general terms I 
create skill files that capture processes and preferences. For 
example, when I translate C code to D, I want the for loops 
converted to foreach loops, I want to change i and j indexes to 
ii and jj indexes, and that sort of thing. I record these 
preferences in one or more skill.md files as I go. Model quality 
with D can vary, so sometimes putting knowledge in skill files 
delivers more accurate results. (This is more relevant for local 
models like Qwen 3.6 or Gemma 4 than for Codex.)
