Agent Skills

Instead of full description, give an index of capabilities

Agent Skills is an open standard in the form of a bundle of procedures, scripts, and resources (folder) that agents can call upon when needed.

A very simple "capability pack" composed of Markdown + scripts.

More token-efficient compared to MCP (only YAML metadata at the beginning is loaded into the session). Skills are simple, flexible, separated by task units, and extensible like using CLI tools.
