What a skill does

A skill is a focused set of instructions and optional supporting files for a particular kind of work. It can give Bwat a reliable code-review checklist, a document workflow, or framework-specific guidance without making every conversation carry those details.

The format and several of Bwat’s foundational workflows build on the open-source research and examples in Anthropic’s skills repository. Bwat also ships original skills for its own coding workflows and supports skills you create yourself.

Use a skill

Run /skills in VS Code or the CLI to see what is available to the current agent.
Describe the task normally and let Bwat select a matching skill, or invoke one directly with /<skill-name>.
Add an argument after the command when the popup shows one, such as a pull-request number or file path.

Examples

/code-review Review my current diff against main.

/create-pull-request Prepare these changes for review.

/pdf Extract the tables from @reports/quarterly.pdf and summarize anomalies.

Send to Bwat

You do not need to memorize skill names. Type / to search the popup, or describe the task in ordinary language and Bwat can choose an appropriate skill.

Create your own skills

The CLI and VS Code extension can also load your own SKILL.md packages from your machine or the current workspace. Ask Bwat to create or install one, review the approval card, and it becomes available on the next message. See Create skills for the file format, locations, and trust model.

Only install skills you trust. A skill changes the instructions Bwat follows and may include scripts or supporting files used during a task.
