Skills

In contemporary agent tooling, skills are reusable packages of task instructions and supporting resources that an agent can load when relevant. The Agent Skills format uses a SKILL.md instruction file and can include scripts or assets. Support differs between hosts; possessing a skill does not universally grant tools, credentials, filesystem access or authority to execute its instructions.
