Run evaluations on Agent Skills to measure their effectiveness. USE FOR: "run skill evals", "evaluate my skill", "test skill quality", "check skill triggers", "skill compliance check", "measure skill performance", "run evals on [skill-name]", "grade skill execution". DO NOT USE FOR: writing skills (use skill-authoring), improving frontmatter (use sensei), or general testing unrelated to skills.

**WORKFLOW SKILL** - Evaluate AI agent skills using structured benchmarks with YAML specs, fixture isolation, and pluggable validators. USE FOR: run waza, waza help, run eval, run benchmark, evaluate skill, test agent, generate eval suite, init eval, compare results, score agent, agent evaluation, skill testing, cross-model comparison. DO NOT USE FOR: improving skill frontmatter (use waza dev), creating new skills from scratch (use skill-creator), token counting or budget checks (use waza tokens). INVOKES: Copilot SDK executor, mock engine, code/regex validators. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: use waza run directly for a single benchmark.

Explains code snippets in plain English, breaking down what the code does step by step. Perfect for learning, code reviews, or documentation.

**UTILITY SKILL** - Explain code snippets, functions, and algorithms in plain language. USE FOR: explain code, what does this code do, break down this function, help me understand this, walk through this algorithm, clarify this logic, explain this snippet, describe what happens here. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new code (use code generation), fixing bugs (use debugging), refactoring (use refactoring skills), code review with action items. INVOKES: file reading tools to access code, language detection for tailored explanations. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: If the user just needs to see file contents, use file reading tools directly.
