Skills

Package task-specific guidance and scripts, loaded on demand.

Skills package task-specific operating instructions and scripts so the agent loads the right guidance only when a task needs it. This keeps prompts small and cost low.

Bundled skills

BudgetAI ships skills for coding, GitHub, cron, document authoring (docx, pptx, xlsx, pdf), summarization, web fetch, weather, and more. Each loads only when a task actually requires it.

Authoring a skill

A skill is a folder with a manifest, guidance, and optional scripts:

my-skill/
  SKILL.md        # when to use it + instructions
  scripts/        # optional executable helpers

Skills are eligible per-task. The agent discovers a relevant skill, loads its guidance, and runs its scripts inside the sandbox.
