What a skill is

An agent skill packages instructions, conventions, and a repeatable workflow for a defined task. A skill can improve consistency without granting access by itself. Review these details before use:
  • Intended task and required inputs
  • Supported agents or clients
  • Version and change history
  • Required tools and permissions
  • Expected outputs and limitations
  • Evaluation cases and acceptance criteria
Treat skill content as code. Review changes, pin versions where supported, and retest the workflow when its instructions or dependencies change. Browse agent skills →
