From example-skills
Orchestrates multi-skill workflows using YAML-defined sequential or parallel chains. Tracks progress with checkpoints and provides pre-built chains for development, documentation, and career tasks.

Orchestrate complex workflows by chaining multiple skills together. Define sequences, track progress, and use pre-built chains for common development patterns.
Orchestrate complex workflows by chaining multiple skills together. Define sequences, track progress, and use pre-built chains for common development patterns.
A chain is a sequence of skills that work together to accomplish a larger goal. Each step invokes a skill, passes context forward, and tracks completion. Chains work through Claude's sequential processing—no external engine required.
