Overview

Agent Skills

Provide new capabilities and expertise for agents.

Agent Skills are folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and use to complete tasks more accurately and efficiently.

Why Agent Skills?

Agents are increasingly capable, but often don't have the context they need to do real work reliably. Skills solve this by giving agents access to procedural knowledge and company-, team-, and user-specific context they can load on demand.

For skill authors
Build capabilities once and deploy them across multiple agent products.
For compatible agents
Support for skills lets end users give agents new capabilities out of the box.
For teams and enterprises
Capture organizational knowledge in portable, version-controlled packages.

What can Agent Skills enable?

Domain expertise
Package specialized knowledge into reusable instructions, from legal review processes to data analysis pipelines.
New capabilities
Give agents new capabilities (e.g. creating presentations, building MCP servers, analyzing datasets).
Repeatable workflows
Turn multi-step tasks into consistent and auditable workflows.
Interoperability
Reuse the same skill across different skills-compatible agent products.
