Skill Creator

To create custom skills for the grip AI platform, you structure the required directory, write the SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, and follow instruction writing principles to package the modular skill.

The SKILL.md format for a custom skill requires a YAML frontmatter section followed by a Markdown body that provides clear, actionable instructions for the AI agent.

You reference built-in tools during skill development by following the tool integration guidelines, which explain how to invoke grip's native functions directly within your skill instructions.

Best practices for writing agent instructions include keeping directives clear and actionable, providing relevant examples, and adhering to the skill anatomy rules to ensure reliable execution.

You do not need external dependencies to build a custom grip skill, as the Skill Creator provides the necessary structural references and best practices for native skill development.

The required directory structure for a new grip skill follows a specific skill anatomy, designating where the SKILL.md file and any optional reference components must be placed for packaging.
