Skills

Skills are instruction files (SKILL.md, written in Markdown) that teach an agent how to do a particular job: which tools to use, in what order, and what rules to follow. An agent loads a skill only when a task calls for it.

Unlike plugins, skills don’t add tools to an agent; they tell it how to use the tools it already has. Some come with scripts that the agent runs with its shell tool.

Octo publishes 3 skills, grouped by where the source lives. Each skill’s page is the skill file itself, written as instructions to the agent. Commands that only run on the Octo host are left out.

📦 Open Source
