What are agent skills?
Expert knowledge your agent loads on demand
Agent skills are structured markdown documents that give AI coding agents specialist knowledge for specific tasks. Instead of hoping the model "just knows" how to do something, skills provide step-by-step expert guidance — best practices, patterns, pitfalls, and examples — that the agent reads before executing.
