Agent Skills (SKILL.md)
Teach your agent custom skills with SKILL.md files — turn team expertise into permanent agent capabilities.
Claude Code
Overview
Agent Skills is the open standard from Anthropic for teaching agents custom capabilities: a simple folder with a SKILL.md file describing when and how the agent should perform a task — from generating brand-styled PDF reports to following your internal deployment runbook.
The magic is progressive disclosure: the agent initially reads only each skill name and description, and loads the full instructions plus any bundled scripts or templates only when a task matches. You can add dozens of skills without burning context.
Skills are shared with the team inside the repo (.claude/skills/) or personally (~/.claude/skills/), and have become the fastest way to convert tacit team knowledge into consistent agent behavior.

Who Is This For?
- Teams standardizing how recurring tasks are executed across agents
- Turning internal procedures (reports, deploys, reviews) into automatic capabilities
- Sharing senior-engineer expertise with every agent user
- Building a company skill library maintained in one place
