skill-authoring

To create reusable agent skills, you define a `SKILL.md` file containing the skill name, description, and operational instructions. This saves complex workflows as persistent knowledge for the agent to recall and perform consistently across sessions.

A `SKILL.md` file is used to define a new skill by providing its name, description, and operational instructions. It serves as a persistent instruction set that extends agent capabilities with user-defined workflows and procedures.

You teach an agent to summarize meeting notes by using a skill creation process to write a `SKILL.md` file. This generates a persistent instruction set that defines the specific summarization workflow for the agent to follow.

Yes, you can define custom agent workflows to run across multiple sessions by writing a `SKILL.md` file. This approach captures complex procedures and knowledge, enabling the agent to execute the defined workflows consistently over time.

The best way to structure operational instructions for an agent is through a guided `SKILL.md` file definition. This structured process captures the skill name, description, and specific task procedures to ensure reliable execution.

No dependencies are required to start authoring agent skills. You can directly begin defining reusable workflows and procedures by creating a `SKILL.md` file to establish persistent agent knowledge.
