Agent Skills defines a specification and documentation for giving AI agents reusable capabilities.
About opensource
Agent Skills defines an open format for giving AI agents reusable capabilities. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file holding name, description, and task instructions, with optional scripts, reference materials, templates, and other files.
Agents load only names and descriptions at startup, read the full SKILL.md when a task matches, then follow the instructions and run bundled code or referenced files as needed. Skills work with skills-compatible agents and tools; code in the repository is licensed under Apache 2.0 and documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
Key features
- Define skills as folders with SKILL.md metadata and instructions
- Bundle scripts, references, templates, and assets with skills
- Load names at startup and full instructions when relevant
- Package team-specific context into portable version-controlled folders
- Reuse the same skill across skills-compatible agents and tools
- Execute bundled code or load referenced files during tasks
Best for: Developers and teams creating reusable task instructions for skills-compatible AI agents.
Good for
- Open format released as an open standard with ecosystem contributions
- Portable version-controlled folders carry team-specific procedures
- Progressive disclosure keeps full instructions unloaded until needed
