Overview
Agent Skills is a lightweight, open format for expanding AI agent abilities. By including a `SKILL.md` file in a folder, agents can receive metadata and instructions for specific tasks. These skills can package scripts, reference materials, templates, and other resources, enabling agents to perform complex, multi-step tasks and be reused across multiple products. Developed by Anthropic and released as an open standard, this format is supported by many AI tools and agent clients.
