Frequently asked questions
Capture what worked once as a SKILL.md, attach linked context, and every agent in your account can run it on demand.
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.
Do the skills work across the other apps?
Yes. A published skill rides the same progressive-disclosure endpoint every agent reads, so it is available to chat, agents, and tools across the whole Developers Digest suite, scoped to your account.
How does pricing work?
Skill Studio runs on credits, the universal currency across all Developers Digest apps. Authoring and editing skills is free; credits are spent on the AI-assisted drafting and test runs, with costs shown up front.
