Skill Imports and Packages
Use this skill for questions about bringing new skill content into the system.
Package shape
- A skill package centers on a standard
SKILL.md file.
- A package can also include bundled reference files that the agent may read when it needs deeper detail.
- Collections of skills can be imported together when the user has a larger library to bring in.
What import accomplishes
- Import turns packaged guidance into editable skills inside the chosen catalog.
- Bundled reference files remain attached to the imported skill so the agent can use them later.
- Warnings during import usually mean the package needs cleanup rather than that the entire feature is unavailable.
Practical guidance
- Explain imports as a way to add reusable knowledge, not as a code deployment path.
- If the user wants one shared playbook, import a focused package.
- If the user wants a broader library, organize it into clear skill directories before importing.
