# Awesome Agent Skills [](https://awesome.re)
|
|
|
|
A curated list of useful resources for **Agent Skills** - a lightweight, open format for extending AI agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows.
|
|
|
|
## 🌟 What are Agent Skills?
|
|
|
|
A **Skill** is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file (with metadata and instructions) and optional scripts/resources. This format allows agents to discover and load capabilities on demand, a concept known as **"progressive disclosure"**.
|
|
|
|
Think of skills as "plugins" or "knowledge packs" that your agent can read to learn how to perform specific tasks—like editing a PDF, analyzing data, or managing a project—without needing that knowledge hardcoded into its system prompt.
