Pick any line to see why it is the way it is: the commit, the pull request and issue it came from, and what the agent was thinking.
| Agents → Skills is the workspace's skill library in the open SKILL.md format: write a skill in g1t, import a SKILL.md or zip, link a repository whose .g1t/skills folders publish on every push, or save a finished session as a skill once a person reviews it; attach a skill to an agent, a team or the whole workspace, each attachment pinned to a version. Agents see each skill's name and when to use it, and read the rest with use_skill when a request needs it; a skill never adds a permission, and scripts wait for an agent's own computer. The agent skills guide says how. | 1 | /** |
| 2 | * Save as skill (docs.g1t.sh/guides/agent-skills/, "Save a session as a | |
| 3 | * skill"): the agent that did a finished session drafts a skill from its | |
| 4 | * transcript, so the way it did the work can be done again. The draft is | |
| 5 | * billed as the agent's work, like a short session step, and is never | |
| 6 | * used by anyone until a person who writes skills reviews and publishes it. | |
| 7 | * | |
| 8 | * `transcriptText` and `draftedSkill` are pure, so they are tested on | |
| 9 | * their own. | |
