skill/ - skill capability family
The canonical three-package capability seam for reusable agent instructions: a provider registry, a local implementation, and the model-facing catalog/loader consumer. All are product packages.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
skill/ |
Provider registry, precedence resolution, stable catalog snapshots, and full-definition lookup | ctx.skills |
skill-local/ |
Project/custom/user filesystem provider | (registers on ctx.skills) |
tool-skill/ |
Session-prefix catalog and model-facing skill loader |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
The interface lives at skill/skill/. Providers register synchronously and perform asynchronous discovery through ctx.skills; tool-skill consumes only that interface, so an embedded or remote provider can replace or complement skill-local without changing the model-facing contract. agent-core loads this family by default, but it remains a capability outside the core control spine, parallel to bash/, fs/, web/, and subagent/.
