Workbench reads these package-local files through its internal [Skill authoring](../skill-authoring.md) and [Direct Pi authoring](../pi-authoring.md) procedures. They are not registered as a separate native Skill, and users need no additional installation. The surrounding guide keeps Pi-specific discovery, invocation and access semantics separate from upstream's harness assumptions. Extension preparation follows its own branch.
