Skills

Domain-specific knowledge modules that agents load automatically.

What are Skills?

Skills are modular knowledge packages that contain principles, patterns, and decision-making frameworks for specific domains. They’re loaded automatically when an agent needs them.

Unlike hard-coded templates, skills teach principles — enabling agents to make contextual decisions rather than copying patterns.

ℹ️

Automatic Loading

Skills are loaded on-demand based on task context. You don’t need to configure anything manually.

---

How Skills Work

When you invoke an agent, it automatically loads relevant skills based on:

1

Agent Configuration

Each agent specifies which skills it can access in its frontmatter.

2

Task Context

The AI reads skill descriptions and dynamically resolves relevant ones for your request.

3

Selective Reading

Only necessary sections are read into memory to optimize context and token spend.
