🎯 Agent Skills

Agent Skills are self-contained folders with instructions and bundled resources that enhance AI capabilities for specialized tasks. Based on the Agent Skills specification, each skill contains a SKILL.md file with detailed instructions that agents load on-demand.

Skills differ from other primitives by supporting bundled assets (scripts, code samples, reference data) that agents can utilize when performing specialized tasks.

How to Use Agent Skills

What's Included:

• Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md instruction file
• Skills may include helper scripts, code templates, or reference data
• Skills follow the Agent Skills specification for maximum compatibility

When to Use:

• Skills are ideal for complex, repeatable workflows that benefit from bundled resources
• Use skills when you need code templates, helper utilities, or reference data alongside instructions
• Skills provide progressive disclosure - loaded only when needed for specific tasks

Usage:

• Browse the skills table below to find relevant capabilities
• Copy the skill folder to your local skills directory
• Reference skills in your prompts or let the agent discover them automatically
