Skill FAQs

Question 1

What are the benefits of developing skills locally with Skill?

Accepted Answer

Skill enables local skill development within popular editors like Claude Code or Cursor, offering a real-time feedback loop. This tight iteration cycle allows you to build, test, and refine skills daily in your actual workflow, leading to more effective and robust AI agent capabilities.

Question 2

How does Skill handle command and parameter discovery for scripts?

Accepted Answer

Skill simplifies command and parameter discovery by automatically parsing the `--help` output of your Python scripts. This eliminates the need for manual configuration and ensures that the agent's understanding of the skill's interface is always consistent with the script's actual capabilities.

Question 3

How does Skill ensure deterministic execution for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Skill ensures deterministic execution by enforcing a fixed entry point (via the `entry` field in `SKILL.md`) for your skill scripts. It also automatically discovers commands and parameters by parsing the script's `--help` output, making the script the single source of truth for execution.

Question 4

What is Skill (MCP Skill Server)?

Accepted Answer

Skill (MCP Skill Server) is a developer tool that enables deterministic and deployable execution of AI agent skills. It formalizes skill development and deployment, allowing you to build reliable AI tools directly in your editor for production environments.

Question 5

Can skills created with Skill be deployed to production environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core benefit of Skill is that skills developed and tested locally can be deployed to non-sandboxed production environments without requiring a rewrite. The formalized entry points and schema discovery ensure secure and reliable execution on your enterprise MCP server.
