Rust implementation of the Agent Skills open standard for parsing, validating, and working with AI agent skill packages.
Agent Skills are a portable format for packaging instructions that AI agents can discover and execute. Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (metadata) and markdown body (instructions). See the specification for complete format details.
