Agents Are Learning to Write Their Own SKILL.md Files

Short summary

Agent Skills (SKILL.md files) is an open standard enabling AI agents to learn and save reusable task procedures. Recent 2026 research demonstrates agents can write their own skills, reducing repeated-task effort nearly in half—a demo cut total cost from 35 to 19 token-units. The pattern is already live in Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and 30+ compatible tools; write a skill once, use it everywhere.
