Introduction
What is FindSkills and how does it work?
FindSkills is an open ecosystem for AI agent skills. Skills are reusable, installable units of knowledge that give your AI agent specialized capabilities — from writing React components to deploying Docker containers.
Core Concepts
A skill is a structured prompt file (skill.json) that encodes domain knowledge, context, and instructions for an AI agent. Skills are version-controlled, composable, and shareable.
