Agent skillsTeach your agent a better way to work
A skill is a SKILL.md file your AI agent reads when the task calls for it: how to plan a feature, review a diff, or write a commit message people can follow.
A skill is instructions your agent follows, and some come with scripts it runs, so we read every one before it goes on this list and say what it can touch.
