What it does

A skill is a Markdown file that teaches an agent how to do something — steps, tools, constraints, examples. Skills install from the community or your own repos, toggle on per environment, and run from Coder, the CLI, or any agent.

SKILL.md formatPlain Markdown with frontmatter; readable by people and agents.

Install and manageAdd from the catalog or a repo; enable, disable, remove.

Project-scopedRepo-level skills shape how agents work in that codebase.

CLI runnervims_skills_cli_run executes a skill directly.

Agent-invocableAgents load skills on demand when a task matches.

FAQ

How is a skill different from a prompt?

A skill bundles procedure, tools, and constraints as a reusable unit; a prompt is a single instruction.

Are skills compatible with other agent tools?

The SKILL.md convention is shared with Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor; VIMS reads the same files.

How does VIMS Skills connect to the rest of VIMS?

It shares your identity from keys.vims.com and is reachable by agents through MCP and Flow, so it works alongside every other VIMS app.
