Anthropic's official agent skills guide. 6 insights

Anthropic has updated its agent skill authoring documentation, providing key insights for developers. A primary recommendation is to name skills using gerunds, such as "processing-pdfs" or "analyzing-spreadsheets," to clearly describe their function. While noun phrases like "pdf-processing" or action names like "process-pdfs" are acceptable, consistency across the skill library is emphasized. This update aims to improve clarity and organization in agent skill development.
