This guide helps you create effective skills for AI agents. Skills are small packages that give agents special knowledge and abilities. They work like instructions for specific tasks. Best practices keep skills simple and fast. Each skill has a short main file and extra files for details. This way agents only load what they need. The result is quicker responses and easier upkeep.
You will learn how to structure a skill folder. The main file must be under 200 lines. It includes a name and description. You can add scripts or reference files for more complex tasks. Progressive disclosure means the agent loads more only when needed. This saves space and speeds things up.
Anyone building agent skills can use this guide. It covers design, testing, and staying concise. The goal is to make skills that are clear and efficient. Follow these steps to extend what your agent can do.
