About Agent Skills
Agent Skills is a documentation website for an open format that extends AI agents with specialized knowledge and workflows. A skill is a folder built around a SKILL.md file, which holds metadata and instructions that tell an agent how to perform a task. Skills can also bundle scripts, reference materials and templates. The site explains how agents load skills in three stages and links to a quickstart, the full format specification and a Client Showcase of supporting tools. The format was originally developed by Anthropic and released as an open standard.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
