What it means
A packaged piece of functionality—often a prompt, workflow, or set of instructions—that you can add to an AI agent so it knows how to perform a particular task reliably. Skills can be anything from "create personas" to "reconcile numbers in a spreadsheet" and are designed to be saved, shared, and reused across projects.
How it's used here
Members build and compare skills as modular building blocks for their agents. They'll archive mental models or principles as skills, attach them to agent projects, and swap versions to improve output quality.
