Skills Guide

Skills are reusable automation patterns that extend NexusCore's capabilities. They teach the agent how to perform specific tasks — from code review to deployment workflows.

What Are Skills?

A skill is a packaged set of instructions, tools, and prompts that NexusCore loads into its context when activated. Skills can automate repetitive tasks, enforce coding standards, or integrate with external services.

How Skills Work

When a skill is activated, NexusCore loads the skill's instructions and tool definitions into its context. The agent then uses these instructions to guide its behavior for relevant tasks.

For example, a "code-reviewer" skill might include:

• Instructions for reviewing code quality, security, and performance
• A checklist of common issues to look for
• Templates for review comments
• Custom tools for running linters or static analysis
