About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend the agent's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. They transform a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex tasks
Core Principle
Concise is Key: Only add context the agent doesn't already have. Challenge each piece of information: "Does this justify its token cost?" Prefer concise examples over verbose explanations.
Skill Structure
Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:
