Summary

Anthropic released Agent Skills, an open standard that packages procedural knowledge and context into lightweight, version-controlled folders for AI agents. Skills are loaded via progressive disclosure—name and description first, then full instructions on demand—enabling domain expertise, repeatable workflows, and cross-product reuse without bloating context windows. The format has already been adopted by multiple agent products and is licensed under Apache 2.0.
