Skyll

Skyll - Agent Skill Discovery

Skyll enables agents to dynamically discover and retrieve skills at runtime. Instead of having all skills pre-loaded, agents can search for relevant skills on-demand and inject them into context.

When to Use This Skill

Use Skyll when:

• The current task requires specialized knowledge or workflows not in context
• Looking for best practices for a specific framework, library, or domain
• Needing procedural knowledge for complex multi-step tasks
• Wanting to enhance capabilities with community-contributed skills

Quick Usage

Option 1: Python Client (Recommended)

from skyll import Skyll

async with Skyll() as client:
    # Search for relevant skills
    skills = await client.search("react performance optimization", limit=3)
    
    for skill in skills:
        print(f"Skill: {skill.title}")
        print(f"Score: {skill.relevance_score}")
        print(skill.content)  # Full SKILL.md content

Option 2: REST API

Search for skills:

curl "https://api.skyll.app/search?q=react+performance&limit=3"

Get a specific skill:

curl "https://api.skyll.app/skills/anthropics/skills/skill-creator"
