# Skills

Development knowledge your coding agent loads only when it needs it

A skill is a markdown file about one thing — Postgres query plans, Zig comptime, TLS certificate chains. Install the plugin and your agent reads the right one when the work calls for it, instead of carrying all of them into every session.

Coverage costs context. This is the trade.

- A skill is a markdown file01
- Gateway skills do the finding02
- Install it in one line03
- Written small on purpose04
- Cross-referenced, not duplicated05
- Add your own06

Frontmatter carries a name and a description. Below it is prose, code, and links to related skills. Nothing to compile, nothing to run — you can read one before you trust it.

A gateway is a small skill whose whole job is to notice. Say Postgres and discover-database wakes up; say comptime and discover-zig does. It pulls the specific files and gets out of the way.

npx skills add https://hanzoskills.com/hanzo.md adds the Hanzo skill to your agent, and hanzoskills.com/llms.txt lists every other one as plain markdown.

One topic per file, a few hundred lines each. Five focused reads cost less than one monolithic guide, and you get the five that matter instead of the one that covers everything badly.

Skills link to the skills next to them, so an agent following a thread from API design into rate limiting into Redis reads three files and never the same paragraph twice.

Drop a markdown file in a category, give it a name and a description, and it joins discovery. Your house conventions load the same way the public ones do.

Paste and ship

Paste this into any agent. It reads the skill manifest and calls Skills from there.
