Give better context
Create and use reusable agent skills
A skill packages specialized instructions and supporting resources around a recognizable task. FireCursor can surface project skills so you can browse, create, and edit them from Android.
Quick answer
The shortest useful version.
Create a narrowly named skill with clear trigger rules, an ordered workflow, safety boundaries, and only the references it needs. Then test both a request that should trigger it and one that should not.
Step by step
Do this with confidence.
- 01
Find one repeated job
Choose a workflow with stable steps, such as release preflight, accessibility review, or migration validation.
- 02
Define the trigger boundary
State when the skill applies and when it does not. A skill that triggers everywhere creates noise and risk.
- 03
Write the workflow
Keep SKILL.md concise, link required references, reuse scripts or templates, and state verification and stop conditions.
- 04
Run positive and negative tests
Verify an intended request uses the skill and an adjacent ordinary request does not.
Skills are better than giant prompts
A skill is versionable, discoverable, and reviewable with the project. It can point to the exact scripts and templates that make a workflow reproducible instead of asking every operator to remember a long prompt.
Keep the skill specialized. Project-wide facts still belong in rules, while a one-time decision belongs in the current task.
Quality checklist
- Specific name and description
- Mutually clear trigger and non-trigger cases
- Small set of required references
- Explicit safety and authority limits
- A verifiable completion condition
