Creating a Zed Agent Skill
Use this skill when the user wants to create, edit, or understand agent skills in Zed.
What is a Skill?
A skill is a reusable set of instructions that an agent can load on demand. Each skill lives in its own directory and is defined by a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter.
Where Skills Live
Skills can be placed in two locations:
| Scope | Path | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Global | ~/.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md |
Personal skills, available in all projects |
| Project-local | <project>/.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md |
Project-specific skills, shared with collaborators through version control |
Prefer project-local when the skill is specific to a repository. Prefer global when the skill is a personal workflow the user wants everywhere.
