# Agent Skills

Agent Skills support is derived from atomic discovery, progressive loading, component, invocation, and scope claims.

- HTML: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/agent-skills
- JSON: https://canmyagentuse.com/api/v1/features/agent-skills.json
- Markdown: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/agent-skills.md

Terminology basis: Catalog grouping. This organizes related compatibility questions and is not itself a support claim.

Recognizing `SKILL.md` does not prove progressive disclosure, script execution, supporting-file access, manual invocation, or identical project and user scopes. These are tracked as separate child capabilities.

## Atomic capabilities

- [Agent Skills core and discovery](/features/skills.md) — Recognize, discover, and load reusable instruction packages centered on SKILL.md.
- [Agent Skills manual invocation](/features/skill-manual-invocation.md) — Let a user or agent explicitly select and activate a named skill.
- [Agent Skills progressive loading](/features/skill-progressive-loading.md) — Load skill metadata first and defer full instructions or resources until relevant.
- [Agent Skills references and assets](/features/skill-references-assets.md) — Resolve supporting reference files, templates, and assets from a skill package.
- [Agent Skills scripts](/features/skill-scripts.md) — Resolve and execute optional scripts included with an Agent Skill under explicit runtime policy.
- [Project-scoped Agent Skills](/features/skill-project-scope.md) — Discover skills installed for a repository or workspace.
- [User-scoped Agent Skills](/features/skill-user-scope.md) — Discover personal or global skills outside the current project.
