# Agent Skills

> Equip your AI agents with reusable custom capabilities, instructions, and tools.

## What are Agent Skills?

An **Agent Skill** is a packaged set of instructions, configurations, files, and tools that define a specific, reusable capability for an AI agent.

Instead of writing long and repetitive prompts, or manually attaching the same files and context each time you want an agent to perform a specific task, you can bundle everything into a Skill. Once created, a Skill can be attached to any number of agents, giving them instant access to that capability.

### Key Benefits

* **Reusability**: Build a complex behavior once and reuse it across multiple agents or workspaces.
* **Modularity**: Compose agents with different sets of skills (e.g., giving one agent a "Data Analysis" skill and another a "Creative Writing" skill).
* **Organization**: Keep your agent instructions clean by delegating specific tasks and logic to isolated skills.
* **Collaboration**: Share useful skills within your company or keep them private for your own workflows.

## Anatomy of a Skill

A typical Skill includes:

1. **Metadata**: Name and description of what the skill does.
2. **Content (`SKILL.md`)**: The core instructions, guidelines, and context that the agent needs to follow when exercising this skill.
3. **Files**: Additional scripts, reference documents, or structured data that the skill relies on to function correctly.
4. **Access Control**: Settings determining whether the skill is private to you, shared with your company, or public.

## Accessing Skills via API

You can programmatically access your Agent Skills using our public REST API:

* **List Skills**: Retrieve all skills available to your user or company.
* **Get Skill Details**: Retrieve specific information and content for a single skill.

*Note: Creating, updating, and managing access to skills is currently only available through the web interface at [app.ubik-agent.com/skills](https://app.ubik-agent.com/skills).*
