Skills are how your company works, written down for agents

The blog post discusses the concept and management of "skills," which are essentially documented workflows or standard operating procedures formatted as markdown files with metadata, designed to be used by agents to automate business operations. Traditionally stored in GitHub repositories, skills management has been adapted by Sanity to be more accessible to non-engineers through the Skills Studio, allowing for easy creation, editing, and distribution of skills without requiring GitHub knowledge. Updates to skills trigger automated processes that sync them across platforms like Claude, ensuring seamless integration into company operations. The post highlights the importance of treating company knowledge as publishable content for agents, emphasizing the need for governance, easy contribution, and distribution beyond GitHub. Sanity's approach includes a dedicated skills marketplace and additional tools to validate and evaluate skills, with ongoing efforts to improve the system by incorporating review steps and exploring new distribution methods.
