## How Agent Skills Work

Agent Skills are self-contained folders with instructions and bundled resources that enhance AI capabilities for specialized tasks. Each skill contains a `SKILL.md` file with detailed instructions that agents load on-demand.

**Structure:**
- Each skill is a folder containing a `SKILL.md` instruction file
- Skills may include helper scripts, code templates, or reference data
- Skills follow the Agent Skills specification for maximum compatibility
