How It Works

The agent reads the description in the frontmatter to decide if this skill is relevant.
If relevant, the agent loads the full SKILL.md.
If the agent needs more detail, it reads files from references/.
Scripts in scripts/ can be executed by the agent when needed.

Example Script

python3 skills/example-skill/scripts/hello.py --name "Agent"
