description: An example skill demonstrating the skill file format
---
This is a sample skill file. Skills are stored in `skills/{name}/SKILL.md` and
provide specialized knowledge that the agent can load on demand via the
`load_skill` tool.
## Frontmatter
Each skill file starts with YAML frontmatter between `---` delimiters:
- `name` (optional): defaults to the parent directory name
- `description` (required): one-line summary shown in the system prompt
## Usage
The agent sees skill names and descriptions in its system prompt. When it needs
the full content, it calls `load_skill` with the skill name. The body below the
frontmatter is returned wrapped in `<skill>` tags.
