Agent Skill: The Open Standard Revolutionizing AI Agent Efficiency & Token Optimization

Master Guide to Agent Skill: The New Open Standard for Building High-Efficiency AI Agents Snippet Agent Skill is an open-standard design pattern for AI Agents that functions as an on-demand “instruction manual” for LLMs. By utilizing a three-layer Progressive Disclosure architecture (Metadata, Instructions, and Resources), it minimizes token consumption while enabling precise task execution. Unlike MCP, which connects to data, Agent Skill teaches models the logic of what to do with that data, supporting conditional references and zero-token script execution. The Evolution of AI Agent Standards: From Claude to the World In the rapidly shifting landscape of Artificial Intelligence, standardized …
