Agent skills
Writing Claude skills and agent skills
What writing skills do
Write docs, pull requests and notes in the formats your tools expect. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md: the agent reads its one-line description up front and loads the instructions only when a task matches, so a writing skill costs almost nothing until you need it. The 4 here come from Anthropic, Sentry, Steph Ango (kepano).
