What is an Agent Skill?

Composable AI Expertise

Agent Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks.

Think of them as onboarding guides that transform Claude from a general assistant into a domain expert β€” whether creating documents, analyzing data, or automating workflows.

"Skills extend Claude's capabilities by packaging your expertise into composable resources… transforming general-purpose agents into specialized agents that fit your needs."
