Skills Best Practices

Research summary

Skills Best Practices explains how to structure agent instructions so that a client can discover the right skill and load only the context needed for a task. It discusses SKILL.md metadata, separation of references and scripts, error handling, evaluation, and iterative refinement with representative scenarios. The repository is primarily a guide and supporting examples rather than a complete skills package manager or agent execution framework.

Its recommendations are useful inputs to a team’s authoring process, but individual client requirements should still be checked against the specification and implementation in use. Suggested evaluation practices do not establish that every resulting skill is reliable without actual testing. No repository-wide license was verified in the reviewed snapshot, so the catalog explicitly leaves licensing unknown instead of equating public availability with permission to redistribute the material.
