Definition

Extensible capabilities that can be added to an AI agent (like claude_code or gemini_cli) to perform specialized tasks beyond text generation, such as executing code, browsing the web, or generating diagrams.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Poovi’s workflow relies on highly capable agents. Understanding how to expand an agent’s “toolbox” with skills like graphify or fireworks_tech_graph is key to his AI operations.

Key properties or components

  • Registry: Repositories or registries where skills are discovered (e.g., GitHub).
  • Installation: Commands like npx skills add or graphify install.
  • Interactivity: Skills often allow agents to interact with external software or APIs.
