What this capability means
Agent Skills are reusable directories centered on SKILL.md, with optional scripts, references, and assets. The catalog treats basic discovery as narrower than full support for progressive loading, script execution, every install scope, or every extension field.
Sourced cells therefore retain beta, plan, policy, code-execution, and surface conditions. A skill package can contain executable code; documented loading does not imply that Can My Agent Use executed or security-reviewed third-party skills.

- 1. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: ChatGPT supports OpenAI Skills following the Agent Skills open standard, but personal skill availability and administration vary by plan, workspace, and surface.
- 2. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Claude can dynamically load Agent Skills across plans when code execution is enabled; organization controls and feature prerequisites still apply.
- 3. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Claude Code supports Agent Skills in beta, so the CLI cell is conditional rather than unqualified support.
- 4. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Cursor documents automatic discovery, manual invocation, progressive loading, and project or user skill directories.
- 5. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: OpenAI documents skills as reusable capabilities for Codex across its local agent surfaces, including CLI workflows.
- 6. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Gemini CLI documents skill discovery tiers, installation, activation, and the Agent Skills directory structure.
- 7. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: VS Code documents Agent Skills as generally available for GitHub Copilot in VS Code with project and personal directories and progressive loading.
- 8. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: OpenWork Desktop documents SKILL.md creation, import, sharing, organization installation, and workspace loading through its OpenCode-backed runtime.
- 9. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: xAI documents saved and packaged skills in Grok Bot, and the Agent Plugins compatible-client registry lists Grok Bot as loading Agent Skills. The cell establishes core discovery and loading, not every optional Agent Skills behavior.
