Introduction to Skills

What are Skills​

Skills are a mechanism for extending Agent capabilities, allowing Agents to perform specific tasks by registering and loading different skill modules. Similar to MCP, Skills define standardized interaction interfaces between Agents and external tools, data, and services, but with a stronger focus on encapsulating reusable Agent behavior logic, enabling Agents to flexibly acquire new capabilities.

The core idea behind Skills is to decompose complex tasks into independent skill units. Each skill can be independently developed, published, shared, and composed. Through Skills repositories, users can conveniently manage and distribute these skills, integrating them into different Agents.

Key advantages include:

  • Modular Capability Management: Each Skill is an independently encapsulated capability unit that can be maintained and version-controlled separately, reducing development and maintenance costs.
  • Flexible Composition: Agents can load different Skills on demand, combining multiple skills to handle complex and diverse task scenarios.
  • Community Reuse: Skills can be published and shared within the community. Developers can directly leverage verified skills built by others to accelerate application development.
