skill-authoring

To create reusable agent skills for task automation, you name your skill, write a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining the skill name and description, and place it in the correct directory for session reuse.

The best way to save instructions that persist across agent sessions is to document them as a reusable skill inside a SKILL.md file, which stores your knowledge and procedures for future use.

YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md works by defining the skill name and description at the top of the file, allowing the agent to identify and apply the specific procedure documentation during task automation.

Yes, you need user interaction to modify task automation skills because the skill creation and modification process requires user input to accurately define and update the procedure documentation.

You should use procedure documentation for agent capabilities when multiple users need to follow the same set of instructions or when you want to save a task for future automated reuse across sessions.
