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

PartMeaning
SKILL.mdThe skill definition: structured frontmatter plus a Markdown body describing what the skill does and how to use it.
Bundled assetsOptional 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.
