Agent Skills

Build once. Run anywhere.

Skills teach a model your process, in the open Agent Skills format. Build and test them privately in Pathway Lite, then deploy the very same skill into frontier systems such as Claude when you need more inference and more power.

What a skill is

A folder, not a platform

A skill is a plain folder containing instructions and supporting files. No SDK, no proprietary format, no lock-in. If you can write a document, you can write a skill.

The workflow

Local first, frontier when you need it

Build

Draft it in Pathway Lite

Write the skill on your own machine, against your own documents, with nothing leaving the device. Iterate freely, because every test run is free.

Prove

Test it offline

Run the skill against real work in a private setting. Sensitive material makes the best test data, and locally it can be exactly that, safely.

Deploy

Take it to the frontier

When a task needs more inference and more power, deploy the same folder into frontier systems such as Claude. The skill travels, your investment compounds.

What skills are good at

Repeatable judgement, written down

House style and tone

Teach the model how your organisation writes, once, and every draft afterwards starts on-brand.

Review and compliance checks

Encode your checklist, the things a document must contain, avoid and disclose, and run it against every file consistently.

Structured outputs

Reports, briefs, summaries and templates that come out the same shape every time, ready to use.
