Agent Skills
also: skills
Packaged, on-demand instruction bundles an agent loads only when the task calls for them.
An agent skill is a folder of instructions (plus optional scripts and resources) describing how to do one kind of task — deploy steps, a review checklist, a house style. The agent sees only each skill’s name and one-line description; the full content loads just in time when relevant. Skills are context engineering productized: expertise stored outside the window, selected on demand instead of bloating every prompt.
