skills Command

Skills are bundled knowledge packages that teach AI coding assistants (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) how to work with Agent Actions workflows. Instead of explaining the framework from scratch every session, you install skills once and the assistant understands YAML syntax, field references, guards, and execution patterns.

.claude/skills/agac-agent-skills/
├── SKILL.md           # Main skill documentation
├── references/        # Pattern guides, context scoping, prompt engineering

Skills are project-scoped - each agent-actions project can have skills installed, and the AI assistant picks them up when you open that project.
