What problem does it solve?

This Skill integrates the Skillz MCP server, allowing AI agents to discover and utilize custom, self-contained Claude-style skills, significantly expanding the automation capabilities of GitHub Agentic Workflows. It helps users extend their AI agents with custom tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Custom Skill Discovery: Skillz automatically finds and exposes Claude-style skills (directories or zip files with SKILL.md) as callable tools for AI agents.
• Docker-Based Integration: Easily configure Skillz as an MCP server using Docker, mounting your skills directory for seamless access.
• Flexible Skill Structure: Supports helper scripts (Python, Node.js), resources, and nested directories within skills.
• Enhanced AI Capabilities: Empower AI agents to perform specialized tasks beyond built-in tools by leveraging custom skills.
• Use Case: A workflow author wants to enable their AI agent to summarize documentation files using a custom Python script. This skill guides them to configure the Skillz MCP server to expose their summarize-docs skill as a callable tool.

Quick Start

Configure the skillz-integration skill in your workflow frontmatter to use the intellectronica/skillz Docker container and mount your local skills directory.
