Frequently asked questions
What is a skill for an AI agent?
A skill gives an agent a ready-made ability: a tested prompt, a set of steps, sometimes files and scripts. The agent picks it up and solves the task by the defined scenario.
How do I install a skill?
Each entry has an install command for a specific agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others. Usually you copy a folder into the skills directory or install it through a plugin manager.
How is a skill different from an MCP server?
A skill gives the agent knowledge and a sequence of actions, an MCP server gives access to external data and tools over a protocol. They are often used together.
