Introducing Agent Skills

Claude now introduces Agent Skills, which are modular folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude automatically loads when relevant to improve performance on specialized tasks like Excel work or brand guideline compliance. Skills are composable, portable across all Claude products, and efficiently load only necessary components, with developers able to create custom skills via the API's new /v1/skills endpoint or through an interactive skill-creator tool. Organization-wide management, partner-built skill directories, and an open standard format enable skills to function consistently across Claude apps, Claude Code, and the developer platform.
