Agent Skill

A packaged capability that AI coding agents can install and use. Unlike MCP servers which provide tools, Agent Skills provide knowledge and instructions that modify agent behaviour.

Agent Skills are a newer integration pattern alongside MCP. While MCP gives agents tools to call, Skills give agents knowledge about how to use an API effectively.

A Signbee Agent Skill teaches the AI agent how to compose contracts, when to use PDF URLs vs markdown, and best practices for document signing — without requiring explicit tool calls.

Skills are installed via: npx skills add signbee/skill --skill signbee -g
