I have to teach the AI the same process every time. Can it remember how to do this task?
A specialized workflow and instruction package organized in a standard directory, with SKILL.md as the entry point for agents to execute on demand.·A Skill can include instructions, scripts, references, and templates. When a task matches it, an agent reads those materials and follows the documented method.
Current taskPrepare a video and complete its pre-publish checkRead the overview
video-publisher/a Skill folder
AgentRead entry
Read the overviewSKILL.md
This Skill: help publish a videoWhen to use it: when preparing to publish or checking a videoHow: read the rules → check → produce the result
SKILL.md explains what the Skill does, when to use it, and how to complete the task.
A Skill is a folder with SKILL.md as its entry point; add other files when the task needs them.
02 · Install and use
How to install a Skill
Send the repository address and the Skill path to your agent so it can download, install, and check it.
YouSend these two lines to your agent
https://github.com/oil-oil/vibe-hub-skill
Install the skills/vibehub Skill from this repository.
→
Installedskills/vibehub/Your agent can use it now
A Skill can also come from: GitHub, SkillHub, A local folder shared by someone else
How to use it after installationTell your agent what you want to do
You can name the Skill directly or describe the task and let the agent decide whether it applies.
YouFor example
Use VibeHub to help me understand Git Branch.
Different agents can store Skills in different places. Ask the current agent to confirm its location during installation.
03 · Purpose
What a Skill does
A Skill mainly solves two problems: it preserves a repeatable method and gives the agent the knowledge and files it needs.
A repeatable weekly-report workflow
Collect records
Organize them using the template
Check and deliver

04 · Create
How to create a Skill
Do not start from a blank format. Ask Skill Creator to generate a first version.
YouTell your agent this
Use Skill Creator to create a Video Publishing Skill. Ask what problem it should solve first, then generate a first version.

Test it on real work, then improve it
05 · Test
How to test a Skill
Give the same task to an agent with the Skill and to one without it, then compare the results directly.
Same model · same input · same taskTurn 12 project updates into a weekly report
Without a Skill
Give the task and raw updates only; let the agent choose its own method.
Results vary more
With the Skill loaded
Give the same task and updates, and tell the agent to use the weekly-report Skill.
Results are easier to reproduce
ResultProcessConsistencyCost
If the platform supports subagents, test in parallel. Otherwise, use two separate conversations.
06 · Best practices
Skill best practices
Skills are read by AI, so keep them short, clear, and executable.
SKILL.mdname: video-publisherdescription: Publish videos and check platform requirements. Use when someone is preparing to publish, checking dimensions, or making a cover image.Complete the checks, generation, and pre-publish confirmation in order.
Write a clear description：State what the Skill does and what tasks should use it.
Quick checkChoose the best answer
Every week, a team teaches an Agent the same release-note rules and reuses scripts and templates. How can repetition be reduced?
You can say this to an AI Agent
“
Package the weekly release-note workflow as a Skill: define triggers, inputs, steps, and acceptance in SKILL.md and keep scripts and templates in their directories. Exclude temporary chat and verify repeatability on a real change set.
