Anatomy

What it contains

  • YAML frontmatter describing when the skill should load
  • Task instructions and decision rules in SKILL.md
  • Optional scripts, references, templates, or assets

Lifecycle

How it works

  1. The user asks for a relevant task
  2. The agent recognizes the skill description
  3. The skill instructions enter context
  4. The agent follows the workflow and verifies the result

Audit lens

What Bear Brown would check

  • Trigger description is specific and reliable
  • Instructions are complete without hidden assumptions
  • Bundled scripts declare dependencies and avoid unsafe execution
