Skill
Skills are curated instructions, scripts, and resources that improve coding agent performance in specialized domains. Importantly, skills are dynamically loaded through progressive disclosure — the agent only retrieves a skill when its relevant to the task at hand. This enhances agent capabilities, as historically, giving too many tools to an agent would cause its performance to degrade.
Skills are portable and shareable — they consist of markdown files and scripts that can be retrieved on demand. We’re sharing a set of LangChain skills that can be ported to any coding agent that supports skill functionality.
