Creating Skills
This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills in Letta Code. For the complete official specification, see agentskills.io.
About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Letta Code's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform a Letta Code agent from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
Core Principles

initializing-memory
Comprehensive guide for initializing or reorganizing agent memory. Load this skill when running /init, when the user asks you to set up your memory, or when you need guidance on creating effective memory files.
71syncing-memory-filesystem
Manage git-backed memory repos. Load this skill when working with git-backed agent memory, setting up remote memory repos, resolving sync conflicts, or managing memory via git workflows.
68finding-agents
Find other agents on the same server. Use when the user asks about other agents, wants to migrate memory from another agent, or needs to find an agent by name or tags.
65migrating-memory
Migrate memory blocks from an existing agent to the current agent. Use when the user wants to copy or share memory from another agent, or during /init when setting up a new agent that should inherit memory from an existing one.
60working-in-parallel
Guide for working in parallel with other agents. Use when another agent is already working in the same directory, or when you need to work on multiple features simultaneously. Covers git worktrees as the recommended approach.
60acquiring-skills
Guide for safely discovering and installing skills from external repositories. Use when a user asks for something where a specialized skill likely exists (browser testing, PDF processing, document generation, etc.) and you want to bootstrap your understanding rather than starting from scratch.
