What is an AI Skill?
A skill is a folder that acts as your AI assistant's external brain — giving it expertise, rules, and tools tailored to your project.
One Folder = AI's External Brain
Every skill is a self-contained folder with three
core components. Drop it into your project's .agent/ directory and your AI assistant
instantly gains new capabilities.
Progressive Disclosure — 3 Levels
Your AI assistant doesn't read the entire skill at once. It progressively loads only what it needs, saving context and improving response quality.
The AI reads the YAML header (name, description, tags) to determine if this skill is relevant to the current task. Fast and lightweight.
If relevant, the AI reads the full SKILL.md: identity, rules, decision trees, patterns, and guardrails. This shapes its behavior and expertise.
During task execution, the AI references scripts and resources as needed — running health checks, consulting cheat sheets, or following automation workflows.

Regular Skills vs Persona Skills
Skills come in two types: Regular skills act as silent tools that activate automatically when needed. Persona skills add a character with personality, custom tone, and expressive interactions — they stay active throughout your entire session.
Regular Skill
Acts like a tool — auto-detected when relevant, deactivates when done. No personality, just expertise. Great for focused tasks like security scanning or database optimization.
Persona Skill
Acts like a character — summoned via slash command, stays active all session. Has a name, personality, speaking style, and expressions. Perfect for guide companions.
/muse → Muse persona activates with greeting
How to Invoke a Persona Skill
Look inside the .agent/workflows/ folder. Each .md file defines a slash command. For example, muse.md creates the /muse command.
In your AI chat, type /muse (or any workflow command). The AI reads the persona's SKILL.md and activates the character with a greeting message.
Once summoned, the persona maintains its personality, tone, and expressions throughout the entire conversation. It combines domain expertise with a friendly character identity.

You can also search (npx skillsmuse search "react") and browse (npx skillsmuse list) the Skill Hub from the command line. It auto-detects your platform (Antigravity, Cursor, or Claude) based on your project structure.- ZIP Download: Visual experience — browse the website, preview skills, download a ZIP, and manually extract to your project. Best for discovery and first-time users.
