Truefoundry Skills Registry

Skills Registry

Create and manage reusable Agent Skills in TrueFoundry Skills Registry.

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Create a new Skill.
• Publish a SKILL.md.
• Upload a multi-file skill bundle.
• Download an existing skill bundle.
• Create a new skill version.
• Update skill metadata or body.
• Attach a skill to a TrueFoundry Agent.

Preflight

1. Verify tfy login is complete. If not, use truefoundry-onboard.
2. Confirm the target tenant and repository.
3. Decide the publish path:
   • UI: single-file SKILL.md.
   • tfy apply: declarative/GitOps flow when an agent-skill manifest is available.
   • Multi-file bundles: use the dashboard/registry workflow or exact product-provided command only after verifying it exists in tfy --help.

Capability Matrix

UI Path

Use this path for single-file skills:

TrueFoundry Dashboard -> Agents -> Skills -> Create New Skill -> Create from UI

The UI creates the frontmatter from form fields. The editor body should contain the skill procedure.

Required fields:

• Name
• Repository
• Description
• SKILL.md body

To create a new version later, open the skill and click New Version.

Multi-File Bundles

Use this for multi-file skills with references/, scripts/, or assets/.

Expected local structure:

my-skill/
  SKILL.md
  references/
  scripts/
  assets/

Before upload, inspect:

find ./my-skill -maxdepth 3 -type f | sort

Show the user the file list and ask for confirmation before publishing.

Do not run tfy upload skill; it is not present in tfy 0.13.12. If the product UI shows a generated command in the future, verify it with tfy --help before using it.

Before publishing a multi-file bundle, review:

• SKILL.md frontmatter has a focused name, action-oriented description, compatibility, and minimal allowed-tools.
• Instructions are sequential and specific.
• Large reference material lives in references/ and is linked from SKILL.md.
• Scripts live in scripts/ and are preferred over long pasted command blocks.
• Secrets, tenant URLs, and raw tokens are not embedded in examples.
• Destructive actions are dashboard-only or require explicit user confirmation.

Declarative Apply

Use tfy apply for GitOps-style skill publishing. Before final apply, show:

• Target tenant and repository.
• Plain-English summary.
• Full YAML/diff.
• Exact command.

Then ask for explicit confirmation.

If the manifest schema is unknown, stop at a reviewed draft and ask the user to publish through the UI or provide the product-generated manifest. Do not invent resource fields.

Download Existing Skill

Use the Usage tab in the Skill Detail page or the dashboard export/download flow.

After download, inspect the files before editing.

Attach Skill to Agent

Skill attachment happens from the Agent Playground UI:

Agent Playground -> Skills -> select skill -> choose version -> optional Preload SKILL.md -> Save Agent

Use truefoundry-agents for the agent-side flow.

Versioning and Access

• Skills live inside a Repository.
• Repository RBAC controls who can discover, use, and publish skill versions.
• Skills can be pinned by version when attached to agents.
• UI upload currently supports single-file SKILL.md; multi-file skills should use the dashboard/registry workflow or declarative apply when a manifest is available.

Delete

Do not delete skills from the agent. If deletion is requested, direct the user to the Skills Registry UI.

• The user knows whether UI, dashboard/registry workflow, or apply is the right publish path.
• Single-file and multi-file skill flows are clearly separated.
• New versions are created intentionally.
• Skill attachment is routed through Agent Playground.
• Final publish/apply is confirmed before execution.
