Add Agent Skills support

Open OriNachum opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Feature Description

Agent Skills by Anthropic are becoming a standard in industry. Claude code, Codex & GitHub Copilot already support it. Cursor is getting support as well, in nightly build for now.

Powers are amazing but are solving a different need as they don’t support scripts (I need to have a middleware stdio MCP for it to support scripts)

Use Case

I want to migrate seamlessly Agent Skills as we move from other IDEs, and I want to use skills to reduce token generation and anchor result code with exiting code example, templates and more.

Additional Context

Clarification, ideally I imagine a skills folder under .kiro/skills

And a cherry on top would allow wrapping that in powers.

I am happy to donate code to make it happen (even with Kiro as my IDE, no less)

Just wait till Powers feature is renamed to Skills.

They are not the same - powers support dynamically/contextually loaded MCPs while Skills support code.

Also, I need them to have the same standard as Agent Skills to make moving to Kiro easier.

The distinction is good in my opinion.

Devs, I am happy to donate code and test for this
