Agent Skills

Listing skills is in the core tool set. Installing them needs the full tool set.

A new Agent Skill can help a task, add irrelevant advice, or make no difference. Try the skill in a separate Ennodia task and bring useful findings back to your main conversation.

A skill is a folder containing SKILL.md in a native agent location. Ennodia discovers that folder and requests the selected skill by name. It does not inline the full instructions into each delegated prompt.

The primary agent can keep useful partial findings without adopting every recommendation.

List available skills

{
  "tool": "ennodia_list_skills",
  "arguments": {
    "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/project"
  }
}

The response includes bundled skills, installed native skills, searched directories, and load warnings.

Preview installation

Bundled skills use dry-run installation by default. The caller can inspect the planned writes before any change:

{
  "tool": "ennodia_install_skills",
  "arguments": {
    "skillIds": ["source-grounded-audit"],
    "harnessIds": ["codex", "claude-code", "opencode", "antigravity"],
    "scope": "project",
    "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/project",
    "dryRun": true
  }
}

Review the planned paths. If they are correct, repeat with dryRun: false.

Use a skill in a run

{
  "tool": "ennodia_run",
  "arguments": {
    "prompt": "Audit this documentation against the linked sources and recommend exact edits.",
    "harnessId": "codex",
    "mode": "single",
    "compare": false,
    "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/project",
    "skillIds": ["source-grounded-audit"]
  }
}

Task and run views include selected skill metadata in appliedSkills, so the primary agent can see which skills were requested.

Native agents can self-select other skills from their environment. An empty requested skill list does not guarantee a skill-free control. appliedSkills records the request, not verified execution of the skill’s instructions. A permission denial can prevent the worker from loading the skill.

Bundled skills include:

Skill	Use it for
source-grounded-audit	Check claims against repository files, standards, or product documentation.
compositional-audit	Limit one shard of a large review to one clear scope.
rigorous-review	General correctness and risk review.
release-readiness	Public release candidate checks.
benchmark-critic	Benchmark credibility and reproducibility review.

Native install locations

Harness	Project path	User path
Codex	.agents/skills	~/.agents/skills
Claude Code	.claude/skills	~/.claude/skills
OpenCode	.opencode/skills	~/.config/opencode/skills
Antigravity	.agent/skills	~/.gemini/antigravity/skills

See Model Context Protocol (MCP) Tools for the exact tool parameters.

Main-agent delegation skill

The bundled pragmatic skill guides the main agent through bounded delegation and result verification. Install it using skillIds: ["pragmatic"]. A delegated coordinator can use it when orchestration is part of its assignment. See Pragmatic mode for the experimental recipes.
