What is an Agent Skill?
A folder of instructions that teaches your agent one kind of job — like making a launch video.

SKILL.md
An Agent Skill is a folder your AI agent can load when a task matches it. At minimum it contains a SKILL.md file with a short description and step-by-step instructions. Larger Skills add templates, scripts and reference files.
Why Skills instead of prompts
A prompt is something you write every time. A Skill is written once, tested, and reused — by you, your team and your agent.
- Repeatable. The same Skill produces consistent results across projects.
- Composable. Agents load only the Skills a task needs.
- Inspectable. Everything is plain text and code you can read.
What's inside a Reelity Skill
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SKILL.md | When to use it, inputs to collect, the workflow |
| templates/ | Layouts, motion presets, caption styles |
| scripts/ | Render, QA and export helpers |
| README.md | Example requests and version notes |
How your agent uses it
When you ask for something like "make a 30-second launch video", your agent matches that request to the Skill's description, reads its instructions and follows them — asking you for inputs, showing drafts and waiting for approval before any paid step.
