Skills
Skills help extend what your agents know how to do well.
They are useful when you want better behavior for repeated categories of work instead of rewriting instructions from scratch every time.
What skills are good for
Use skills to improve work such as:
- frontend implementation
- backend reasoning
- security review
- documentation
- domain-specific workflows
Why they matter
Skills help agents feel less generic. They make it easier to bring reusable knowledge and patterns into your day-to-day workflow.
Best practice
Add skills when they solve a repeated need, not as decoration. The best skills remove friction from real work.
