Skills
A skill is a self-contained capability you can give your AI tools. It’s a
directory containing a SKILL.md file plus any bundled assets the skill needs.
Anatomy of a skill
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
SKILL.md | The skill definition: structured frontmatter plus a Markdown body describing what the skill does and how to use it. |
| Bundled assets | Optional files the skill ships with (scripts, templates, references). |
SKILL.md carries a rich set of frontmatter fields. cnfgr stores the full set
and projects what each tool supports.
Editing a skill
Open the Skills tab and select or create a skill. You edit the SKILL.md
frontmatter and body the same way you edit an agent, and
cnfgr keeps the skill’s bundled assets together as a unit so the whole directory
syncs as one.
Global vs project skills
Like agents, skills can be global or project-scoped, and a project skill overrides
a global one of the same name. See
Projects & identity.
Fidelity across tools
Not every tool has a native concept of a skill. Where a tool can’t represent a skill directly, cnfgr does the best faithful projection it can; see the tool support matrix for specifics.
