This file includes metadata (`name` and `description`, at minimum) and instructions that tell an agent how to perform a specific task. Skills can also bundle scripts, reference materials, templates, and other resources.\n\n```\nmy-skill/\n├── SKILL.md          # Required: metadata + instructions\n├── scripts/          # Optional: executable code\n├── references/       # Optional: documentation\n├── assets/           # Optional: templates, resources\n└── ...               # Any additional files or directories\n```\n\n## Why Agent Skills?\n\nAgents are increasingly capable, but often don't have the context they need to do real work reliably. Skills solve this by packaging procedural knowledge and company-, team-, and user-specific context into portable, version-controlled folders that agents load on demand. This gives agents:\n\n- **Domain expertise**: Capture specialized knowledge — from legal review processes to data analysis pipelines to presentation formatting — as reusable instructions and resources.\n- **Repeatable workflows**: Turn multi-step tasks into consistent, auditable procedures.\n- **Cross-product reuse**: Build a skill once and use it across any skills-compatible agent.\n\n## How do Agent Skills work?\n\nAgents load skills through **progressive disclosure**, in three stages:\n\n1. **Discovery**: At startup, agents load only the name and description of each available skill, just enough to know when it might be relevant.\n\n2. **Activation**: When a task matches a skill's description, the agent reads the full `SKILL.md` instructions into context.\n\n3. **Execution**: The agent follows the instructions, optionally executing bundled code or loading referenced files as needed.\n\nFull instructions load only when a task calls for them, so agents can keep many skills on hand with only a small context footprint.\n\n## Where can I use Agent Skills?\n\nAgent Skills are supported by a large number of AI tools and agentic clients — see the [Client Showcase](https://agentskills.io/clients) to explore some of them!\n\n## Getting started\n\n- **[Documentation](https://agentskills.io)** — Guides and tutorials\n- **[Specification](https://agentskills.io/specification)** — Format details\n- **[Example Skills](https://github.com/anthropics/skills)** — See what's possible\n- **[Discord](https://discord.gg/MKPE9g8aUy)** — Share what you're building!\n\n## Open development\n\nThe Agent Skills format was originally developed by [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/), released as an open standard, and has been adopted by a growing number of agent products. The standard is open to contributions from the broader ecosystem — see [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to get involved.\n\n## License\n\nCode in this repository is licensed under [Apache 2.0](LICENSE).
