AI agents gain custom skills via markdown files

An agency owner has developed a system for integrating custom skills into AI coding agents, allowing them to perform complex tasks like website audits and social media cross-posting. These skills are essentially markdown files containing workflows and hard rules, which the agent loads dynamically to conserve context. This approach enables agents to execute multi-step procedures and adhere to specific instructions, such as requiring human approval before publishing content. AI
