How Agent Skills work
Questions

Using a skill

What is a skill?

A skill is a written procedure an AI assistant reads before it does a task: the steps, the judgement calls, the standards and what "done" looks like. It lives in a SKILL.md file, sometimes with reference files beside it. A prompt is typed again each time; a skill is versioned and runs the same way for everyone who uses it.

How do I use this skill in Claude, ChatGPT or Agentman?

Create a free Agentman account and add the skill to your library. One MCP connection then makes your library available in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Agentman agents, so you set it up once. To see it work before you sign up, use "Try it in Claude" on this page, which opens a chat that reads the public SKILL.md.

Can I edit the skill after I add it?

Yes. Cloning a skill puts a copy in your workspace that is yours to edit in plain language. Skills are versioned: edit one once and every agent using it follows the new version. The free plan covers up to 10 private skills and 3 members, no credit card.
