DocumentationSpecificationSkills

Skills

Skills are reusable instruction files owned by the project.

Location

.apc/skills/<name>.md

Purpose

Skills let projects avoid repeating the same operational guidance across many agent definitions.

Typical skill topics:

  • documentation style
  • release checklists
  • security review heuristics
  • support triage rules
  • migration procedures

Example

# release-checklist
 
Before shipping:
1. Confirm tests pass.
2. Confirm user-visible changes are documented.
3. Confirm migration notes exist when needed.

Referencing skills

Agents may reference skills by name from:

  • AGENTS.md
  • .apc/agents/<slug>.md

The skill file remains the project-owned source for the shared instruction body.
