description: An example skill demonstrating the skill file format

This is a sample skill file. Skills are stored in `skills/{name}/SKILL.md` and provide specialized knowledge that the agent can load on demand via the `load_skill` tool.

Frontmatter

Each skill file starts with YAML frontmatter between `---` delimiters:

  • `name` (optional): defaults to the parent directory name
  • `description` (required): one-line summary shown in the system prompt

Usage

The agent sees skill names and descriptions in its system prompt. When it needs the full content, it calls `load_skill` with the skill name. The body below the frontmatter is returned wrapped in `<skill>` tags.

Questions about example.

Which coding agents can use example?
example installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
