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.
