# Example Skill
This is an example skill that demonstrates the format for creating custom skills.
## Purpose
Skills extend the agent's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and instructions for specific tasks or domains.
## Structure
Each skill is a directory in `skills/` containing:
- `SKILL.md` (required): Main documentation with frontmatter metadata
- Additional files: Scripts, configs, or reference materials (optional)
## Frontmatter
The SKILL.md file must start with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
name: skill-name
description: Brief description of what the skill does
---
```
## Usage
The agent automatically loads all skills from `skills/` and includes their content in the context. You can:
- Create new skills with the `create_skill` tool
- List available skills with the `list_skills` tool
- Read skill content with the `read_skill` tool
- Delete skills with the `delete_skill` tool
## Tips
- Keep skills concise and focused
- Use concrete examples over lengthy explanations
- Include command templates when applicable
- One skill per domain
