Example skills covering creative, technical and enterprise tasks; each skill is a self-contained folder with a `SKILL.md` (instructions + metadata). Many skills are Apache-2.0; the document skills (`docx`, `pdf`, `pptx`, `xlsx`) are source-available rather than open source. The README describes the skills as provided for demonstration and education. The Agent Skills format itself is specified at agentskills.io.
