Skills can contain scripts, making them a lot more versatile than just a document.

Of course any LLM can write any script based on a document, but that's not very deterministic.

A good example is Anthropic's PDF creator skill. It has the basic english instructions as well as actual Python code to generate PDFs

This strikes me as entirely logical in the short run, and an insane way of packaging software that we will certainly regret in the long run.
