Under the current standard, Agent Skills are SKILL. md files that combine instructions with supporting resources, enabling Large Language Model (LLM) agents to reuse procedures beyond a single conversation.
Agent Skills package reusable natural language procedures with executable resources, enabling software agents to acquire task specific capabilities without model adaptation. Automatically generating such Skills can improve task performance, yet evaluating a candidate solely from its artifact or final task outcome leaves unresolved which actions the equipped agent will perform and which side effects those actions will produce.

arXiv:2607. 01136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills package reusable operational knowledge for Large Language Model (LLM) agents, yet as they grow in scope, they become dependency-bearing artifacts whose identities, versions, and provenance remain implicit.
arXiv:2607. 10113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents increasingly store reusable procedures outside the model.
Agent skills are the de facto mechanism for extending LLM agents with reusable guidance. A skill can shape the agent's task execution, including planning, tool use, problem-solving, and validation.

arXiv:2608. 05204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-agent ecosystems are rapidly growing around reusable skills: mixed-modality packages of metadata, natural-language instructions, code, tools, references, and operational workflows.

arXiv:2607. 20999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent Skills package reusable procedural knowledge as external artifacts for frozen language-model agents, yet existing optimizers do not jointly resolve where a failure occurs in a workflow, which mechanism caused it, and how relevant knowledge from third-party Skills should be reused locally.
