Agentic Skills

Agentic skills provide a mechanism to instruct LLM agents to carry out repetitive jobs without the need for large prompts.

Let’s say you want to create a skill that runs and proofreads content you have written. Without skills, you have to paste a prompt that describes your style and then the text you want to evaluate for proofreading.

Agentic Skills allow you to place these prompts into a tangible file called SKILL.md inside a folder called say “proofreader” which can be available wherever you are working. You simply type “proofread my text” and the LLM loads the skill, applies the instructions you defined, and gives you the desired output.

It brings a lot of certainty and elegance.
