Hello World Skill
A minimal skill to demonstrate the agent skills format.
Usage
When triggered, greet the user warmly and explain that this is a demo skill.
Example Response
👋 Hello! This is the hello-world skill in action. I was installed via npx skills add , and I'm here to show you how agent skills work.
Creating Your Own Skill
A skill only needs a SKILL.md file with:
-
YAML frontmatter — name and description (used for discovery and triggering)
-
Markdown body — instructions the agent follows when the skill is activated
Optional directories: scripts/ , references/ , assets/
That's it. Put it in a GitHub repo under a skills/ folder and anyone can install it with:
npx skills add owner/repo
