Skills

Skills are reusable, modular capabilities that can be loaded into deep agents. They allow you to extend agent functionality in a composable way, similar to plugins.

Learn more: For creating and using skills, see the Skills documentation.

Overview

Skills provide a way to:

• Package reusable capabilities that can be shared across agents
• Extend agent functionality without modifying core agent code
• Organize specialized tools and behaviors into cohesive units

Listing Available Skills

import { listSkills } from "deepagents";

const skills = await listSkills({
  directory: "./skills",

}

Loading Skills into an Agent

import { createDeepAgent, createSkillsMiddleware } from "deepagents";

      skillsDirectory: "./skills",
    }),
  ],
});
