Agent Skills — open format (reference)

Educational routing only. This skill does not reproduce the specification. Use the canonical links below for authoritative text, schema details, and license terms.

Canonical URLs

Resource URL
Repository github.com/agentskills/agentskills
Site agentskills.io — documentation hub (per upstream README)

The upstream project describes Agent Skills as a simple, open format: folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover for task-specific expertise (“write once, use everywhere”). The repo holds the specification, documentation, reference SDK material, and pointers to example skills and community channels (e.g. Discord — see live README).

Documentation index (llms.txt)

Use agentskills.io/llms.txt as the machine-readable index of first-party docs (discover pages before deep-linking). It currently lists:

Doc URL
Overview agentskills.io/home.md — open format for agent capabilities and expertise
What are skills? agentskills.io/what-are-skills.md — lightweight format for specialized knowledge and workflows
Specification agentskills.io/specification.md — complete format specification
Integrate skills into your agent agentskills.io/integrate-skills.md — adding Agent Skills support to an agent or tool

What to read there

Area Typical use
Specification specification.md — exact format expectations for portable skills
Integration integrate-skills.md — agent/tool implementers
Documentation home.md, what-are-skills.md — concepts
Example skills Patterns and breadth (see GitHub README + examples)
Contributing CONTRIBUTING.md in-repo

License (summary)

Upstream states: code in the repository is under Apache-2.0; documentation under CC-BY-4.0 — confirm in-repo LICENSE and per-directory notices. The format is community-open; Anthropic is named as a maintainer in the public README.

How to combine with blockint

Need Skill
This repo’s BI / chain-focused skills blockchain-intelligence-playbook
Portable skill format vs domain content agentskills-specification (upstream spec); topical skills here for blockchain intel

Guardrails

  • Upstream wins — If blockint layout ever diverges from the published spec, treat agentskills as the portability reference.
  • No credential paste — Spec work does not require embedding secrets in skills.

Goal: stable pointers to agentskills/agentskills, agentskills.io/llms.txt, and agentskills.io/specification.md for Agent Skills format and documentation alignment.
