skill-authoring

To create reusable skills, you define and save a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter inside a dedicated .agents/skills directory, allowing agents to apply saved instructions for future tasks without reinventing the wheel.

Saving agent instructions involves creating a skill definition with a clear name and description in a central, mutable skills directory, which validates the frontmatter to ensure future actions are guided correctly across sessions.

You can compose complex agent workflows by linking multiple saved skills together within YAML workflows, combining simpler skill definitions to execute larger, multi-step tasks efficiently.

Yes, creating skills requires satisfying frontmatter validation in the SKILL.md file, ensuring that the metadata format is correct so the agent can properly parse and apply the saved instructions.

Yes, skills are stored in a central, mutable directory, meaning you can easily update existing skill definitions and add optional resources whenever your agent capabilities or task requirements change.
