Agent Skills
ServiceAgent Skills is an open specification, originated by Anthropic, for packaging reusable behaviors and instructions that AI agents can install and execute. It defines a Markdown + YAML format (skills.md) that lets developers share domain-specific capabilities across tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, and .NET agents.
