Skill Studio
Turn a working session into a reusable skill
Capture what worked once as a SKILL.md, attach linked context, and every agent in your account can run it on demand.
From zero to shipped in three steps
- Step 1
Capture a session
Point Skill Studio at a session that worked. It drafts a SKILL.md from the steps, corrections, and context you actually used, so you are editing a first draft instead of a blank file.
- Step 2
Attach linked context and refine
Add files and URLs as linked context. Instead of copying bytes in, the skill references them and fetches on demand, so a skill can point at the whole web without bloating its own body. Test it against a real prompt before you ship.
- Step 3
Publish and reuse everywhere
Publish the skill and it rides the same progressive-disclosure endpoint every agent reads. One skill, available to chat, agents, and tools across the whole suite, scoped to your account.
Serve it over MCP
A saved skill is live on your MCP endpoint. Pull it into any MCP client with your dd_live_ API key.
{
"mcpServers": {
"developers-digest": {
"url": "https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer dd_live_YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}Built for shipping, not fiddling
Session to skill in one step
Skill Studio drafts a structured SKILL.md from a real session: the runbook, the scripts, the corrections. You refine a draft rather than write from scratch.
Linked context, not copies
A skill file can be a link instead of a copy. Reference a URL and its bytes are fetched only when an agent decides it needs them, so skills stay small and always current.
Progressive disclosure built in
Skills load only the layer an agent asks for. The summary comes first; the full runbook and linked resources are pulled on demand, keeping context windows lean.
Test before you ship
Run a skill against a real prompt inside the studio and watch what it loads and does. Iterate until it behaves, then publish with confidence.
Runs across every agent
Published skills are available to chat, agents, and tools across the whole Developers Digest suite. Author once and every surface can run it.
Credits that travel
Skill Studio runs on the universal Developers Digest credit balance. The same credits power chat, memory, image generation, and every other app in the suite.
Common questions
What is Skill Studio?
Skill Studio is where you turn a working session into a reusable SKILL.md. It drafts the skill from what you actually did, lets you attach linked context, and publishes it so every agent in your account can run it.
What is a skill?
A skill is a SKILL.md file that packages a runbook, scripts, examples, and domain judgment into instructions an agent loads on demand. It turns a general agent into a trained teammate for a specific job.
What is linked context?
Linked context lets a skill reference files and URLs instead of copying their contents in. The bytes are fetched only at the moment an agent decides it needs them, so a skill can point at the open web and still stay small.
How is this different from writing a SKILL.md by hand?
You still own the file, but Skill Studio starts you from a draft built out of a real session, gives you a place to test it against live prompts, and wires linked context and progressive disclosure so you are not hand-managing what loads when.

Linked Context: When a Skill Can Point at the Whole Web
Skill Studio lets a skill file be a link instead of a copy: a URL whose bytes are only fetched the moment an agent decides it needs them. Progressive disclosure stops at the skill boundary no longer.
