Specialize Your Agents with Skills
summary
Agent Skills is a new standard for packaging instructions, scripts and resources into a folder that an AI agent (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) can load automatically to specialize its behavior. The talk explains the standard’s progressive-disclosure principle, shows two concrete Skill implementations in live demos focused on software development, and discusses portability between agents, community resources and best practices for creating and sharing Skills.
