FAQPage Schema
How do I discover available Agent Skills in my project?

Discover available Agent Skills by scanning the .agents/skills directory. The lookup process reads the SKILL.md frontmatter in each directory to identify and retrieve agent capabilities by keywords, categories, or tags.

What is a SKILL.md frontmatter and why is it needed for skill discovery?

A SKILL.md frontmatter is a required metadata block containing a skill's name and description. It is needed for skill discovery because the agent reads it to understand available capabilities and find appropriate tools to solve user problems.

How do I list all available agent capabilities and retrieve their instructions?

List all available agent capabilities by requesting a scan of the skills directory. Once identified, fetch the complete SKILL.md for a selected skill to learn exact instructions and plan tool-based workflows.

Can I use optional scripts and assets to expand an Agent Skill's functionality?

Yes, you can use optional scripts, references, and assets directories to expand an Agent Skill's functionality. While a valid SKILL.md frontmatter is required, these additional directories enable more complex tool-based workflows.

What are the limitations of the skill lookup mechanism?

The skill lookup mechanism requires a valid SKILL.md frontmatter with a name and description to function. It cannot discover or retrieve agent capabilities if these required metadata fields are missing from the .agents/skills directory.
