# Agent Skills Spec
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A skill is a folder of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and load dynamically to perform better at specific tasks. In order for the folder to be recognized as a skill, it must contain a `SKILL.md` file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Skill Folder Layout
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A minimal skill folder looks like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
my-skill/
|
|
||||||
- SKILL.md
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
More complex skills can add additional directories and files as needed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# The SKILL.md file
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The skill's "entrypoint" is the `SKILL.md` file. It is the only file required to exist. The file must start with a YAML frontmatter followed by regular Markdown.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## YAML Frontmatter
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The YAML frontmatter has 2 required properties:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `name`
|
|
||||||
- The name of the skill in hyphen-case
|
|
||||||
- Restricted to lowercase Unicode alphanumeric + hyphen
|
|
||||||
- Must match the name of the directory containing the SKILL.md
|
|
||||||
- `description`
|
|
||||||
- Description of what the skill does and when Claude should use it
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are 3 optional properties:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `license`
|
|
||||||
- The license applied to the skill
|
|
||||||
- We recommend keeping it short (either the name of a license or the name of a bundled license file)
|
|
||||||
- `allowed-tools`
|
|
||||||
- A list of tools that are pre-approved to run
|
|
||||||
- Currently only supported in Claude Code
|
|
||||||
- `metadata`
|
|
||||||
- A map from string keys to string values
|
|
||||||
- Clients can use this to store additional properties not defined by the Agent Skills Spec
|
|
||||||
- We recommend making your key names reasonably unique to avoid accidental conflicts
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Markdown Body
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Markdown body has no restrictions on it.
|
|
||||||
