What is the open agent-skills standard?

It is a set of guidelines for creating modular, documentation-rich capabilities for AI agents to ensure consistency, discoverability, and high performance across different models.

What are common anti-patterns in skill creation?

Common mistakes include using vague triggers, information overload in the main file, deeply nested references, and including time-sensitive or platform-specific data.

How does this skill help with documentation?

It enforces the principle of progressive disclosure, keeping the primary SKILL.md file concise for the agent while organizing detailed context within a dedicated references directory.

Can I use this for any AI agent model?

Yes. While optimized for Claude Code, the principles and directory structures follow an open standard designed to verify behavior across all intended agent models.
