• Use descriptive names - group names should clearly indicate their purpose
• Add detailed descriptions - help users understand the group's context

Skill Definition

• Be precise - each skill should have a clearly defined scope
• Avoid duplication - use the ability to assign skills to multiple groups
• Add context - descriptions should explain practical skill applications
