Read excerpt
Skills in Val Town instruct Townie and other AI agents using the Val Town MCP server how to write idiomatic vals that respect a user's preferences and knowledge.
In any val, a user can create a `/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` file, e.g. `/skills/design/SKILL.md`.
Townie and the Val Town MCP server index skills with that directory/file structure across all of a user's vals.
A user may choose to centralize their skills in one val or co-locate skills across multiple vals.
## Frontmatter
A skill markdown file must have frontmatter:
- `name`: kebab-case name of the skill; contains lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
- `description`: helps the agent decide when the skill is relevant. **A good skill description is critical for agent discovery**
- `triggers`: (optional) is a list of keywords to tip off the agent
