Agent Skills
Reusable, scoped instructions for repeatable agent workflows.
What Skills Do#
A skill packages domain instructions, references, and optional helper assets so an agent can follow a repeatable workflow without expanding the product’s core prompt.
Skill Anatomy#
- Instructions: A concise entry document that defines triggers, boundaries, and workflow.
- References: Focused material loaded only when the task requires it.
- Assets: Templates or examples that are reused rather than regenerated.
Activation#
The planned client should make automatic skill selection visible and allow users to name a skill explicitly. Conflict resolution and permission behavior remain part of the client design.
