Agent skills
for developer tools
Agent skills are instruction files that teach an AI agent how to discover, install, authenticate, and invoke a capability. They matter because developer agents do not just need tools. They need a reliable description of how to use those tools inside the execution environment. AnyCap uses skills to distribute one capability runtime across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar products.
What a skill actually does
A skill is not only metadata. It gives the agent a working model of how a capability fits into its workflow. That includes installation steps, auth flow, command examples, and the situations where the agent should call the capability instead of staying in text.
That is why skills are a strong distribution mechanism for AnyCap. The same runtime can be installed once, then described consistently to multiple agent products without rewriting the capability interface every time.
Where skills fit
Discovery
The agent learns that a capability exists and what outcomes it enables.
Installation
The skill explains how to install the runtime and how authentication works.
Invocation
The agent sees examples and usage patterns it can reuse during execution.
