Skill	Description
aws-marketplace	Publish paid container products to AWS Marketplace — entity model, 14-step creation sequence, ECR pipeline, pricing, CloudFormation, review process, and post-launch operations

How these skills work

Each skill is a SKILL.md entrypoint with a table of companion documents that load on-demand based on the task. The core skill stays focused; detail lives in companion files that Claude pulls in only when relevant.

skills/<name>/
├── SKILL.md          # entrypoint — loaded when you invoke the skill
└── *.md              # companion docs, loaded on-demand per task
