# SKILL

# Agent Skills

Skills are reusable instruction blocks that an agent can load dynamically at runtime.

## Setup

```python theme={null}
from orxhestra import Skill, InMemorySkillStore
from orxhestra.skills.load_skill_tool import make_load_skill_tool, make_list_skills_tool

store = InMemorySkillStore([
    Skill(
        name="summarization",
        description="How to write concise summaries.",
        content="Extract the 3-5 most important points. Use bullet points. Be concise.",
    ),
    Skill(
        name="code_review",
        description="How to conduct a thorough code review.",
        content="Check correctness, readability, test coverage, and security.",
    ),
])

agent = LlmAgent(
    name="SkillfulAgent",
    model=model,
    tools=[
        make_list_skills_tool(store),   # lets agent discover available skills
        make_load_skill_tool(store),    # lets agent load a skill's full content
    ],
)
```

The agent calls `list_skills` to discover what's available, then `load_skill("summarization")` to get the full instruction text.

## Custom backends

Implement `BaseSkillStore` for any backend (database, file system, API).
