Skills

Overview

Skills are pluggable knowledge modules that extend what your AI agents can do. They’re sourced from the skills.sh marketplace — a community-driven ecosystem of agent capabilities. When you install a skill, its instructions are automatically injected into every enabled agent’s config file.

How Skills Work

Install — drevon skill add downloads the skill to .drevon/skills/
Register — The skill is recorded in skills-lock.json
Compile — On drevon sync, skills appear as a table in each agent’s instructions
Use — Agents read skill descriptions and follow their SKILL.md instructions

Installing Skills

# From skills.sh — owner/repo format
drevon skill add browser-use/browser-use

# With skill name (for multi-skill repos)
drevon skill add owner/repo/skill-name

# Copy-paste from skills.sh website (auto-sanitized)
drevon skill add "npx skills add browser-use/browser-use --skill browser-use"

You can copy-paste the install command directly from skills.sh — Drevon automatically strips the npx skills add prefix and --skill flags.

Managing Skills

# List installed skills
drevon skill list

# Remove a skill
drevon skill remove browser-use

# Re-sync skills into agent configs
drevon skill sync

The Lock File

skills-lock.json tracks all installed skills:

{
  "skills": [
    {
      "name": "find-skills",
      "description": "Helps users discover and install agent skills",
      "source": "bundled",
      "path": ".drevon/skills/find-skills",
      "hash": "abc123",
      "installedAt": "2026-02-28T10:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "name": "browser-use",
      "description": "Control web browsers for research and testing",
      "source": "browser-use/browser-use",
      "path": ".drevon/skills/browser-use",
      "hash": "def456",
      "installedAt": "2026-02-28T12:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Commit skills-lock.json to Git. This ensures teammates get the same skills when they run drevon sync.

Bundled Skills

Every Drevon workspace comes with one pre-installed skill:

find-skills

A comprehensive guide that helps agents discover, evaluate, and install new skills from the skills.sh ecosystem. It teaches agents how to:

Search for skills by category
Evaluate skill quality and compatibility
Install skills via the Drevon CLI
Recommend skills based on the current task

Skill Packs

Drevon includes curated skill collections for common use cases:

Pack	Skills Included	Use Case
essentials	browser-use, pdf, skill-creator	Core capabilities
web-dev	tailwind-design-system, ui-ux-pro-max, web-design-guidelines, seo-audit	Frontend development
content	copywriting, pptx, remotion-best-practices	Content creation
ai-tools	agent-tools (150+ models via inference.sh)	AI/ML workflows

Skill packs are defined in the codebase and will be installable via CLI in a future release.

Skill Anatomy

Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file:

.drevon/skills/
└── my-skill/
    └── SKILL.md

The SKILL.md file contains:

Description — What the skill does
When to use — Trigger conditions for the agent
Instructions — Detailed guidance for the agent
Examples — Usage patterns

How Skills Appear in Agent Configs

Installed skills are rendered as a structured section in each agent’s instruction file:

## Installed Skills

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| find-skills | Helps users discover and install agent skills |
| browser-use | Control web browsers for research and testing |

> **IMPORTANT:** To install new skills, always use `drevon skill add <source>`
> Drevon tracks skills in `.drevon/skills/` and keeps all agent configs in sync.

Agents also receive a reference to each skill’s SKILL.md file path, which they can read for detailed instructions when the skill is relevant to the current task.
