How Skills Work

Automatic Activation

Bob automatically determines when to activate a skill based on:

• Your request content
• The skill's description
• The files you're working with

Skill Structure

Each skill follows Bob's best practices:

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md              # Main skill file with YAML front matter
├── detailed-reference.md # Comprehensive examples (optional)
└── troubleshooting.md    # Common issues (optional)

SKILL.md Format

description: Clear description of when to use this skill

Using Skills

In Your Workflow

1. Start working on a task
2. Bob automatically activates relevant skills
3. Bob follows the skill's instructions
4. Refer to supporting files for detailed examples

Manual Reference

You can also reference skills manually:

• Check SKILL.md for quick guidance
• Consult detailed-reference.md for comprehensive examples
• Review troubleshooting.md for common issues

Skill Locations

Skills can be defined at two levels:

Location	Scope	Use Case
.bob/skills/	Project-specific	Workflows unique to this project
~/.bob/skills/	Global	Personal or organization-wide workflows

Priority: Project-level skills take precedence over global skills with the same name.

Best Practices

Creating Skills

• Clear descriptions - Help Bob understand when to activate
• Focused instructions - Keep SKILL.md concise
• Supporting files - Move detailed content to separate files
• Actionable steps - Structure as clear, step-by-step instructions

Using Skills

• Trust automation - Let Bob activate skills automatically
• Reference documentation - Use supporting files for details
• Keep updated - Update skills as patterns evolve
