How to use it

Copy the folder

Take loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes-tr-iterative-retrieval from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
