## Standardized Skill Format

Agent Skills provide a lightweight, open format for you to extend your AI agent capabilities. A skill is essentially a folder containing a SKILL.md file with metadata and instructions.

## Enhance Agent Context

You can package procedural knowledge and specific context into portable, version-controlled folders. This gives your agents the domain expertise they need to perform real work reliably.

## Flexible Skill Components

Your skills can bundle scripts, reference materials, templates, and other resources. This allows for comprehensive and specialized capabilities, from legal review to data analysis pipelines.
