An artificial intelligence agent skill gives an agent a repeatable method for handling a task or domain. It can describe required reading, ordered steps, validation, safety boundaries, tool use, and reference material so the agent does not need to reconstruct the workflow each time.
Skills should be narrow enough to apply reliably and should identify their assumptions and stop conditions. They complement live repository and organizational context rather than replacing it, because reusable procedures cannot contain every current decision or task-specific fact.
