Question, and sorry for my ignorance.

Are hooks, skills, and other features LLM services provide just ways to include something in the prompt? For example, is a skill just prepending the content of the skill files to the user prompt?

I ask because watching from the sidelines, it seems like these are all just attempts to "featurise" what is effectively a blank canvas that might or might not work. But I am probably missing something.
