# Skill forge
Every developer tool shipped an MCP server in 2025. In 2026 the missing artifact is a
**skill**: the instructions an agent loads before it writes code against your product. An MCP
server gives an agent capabilities. A skill gives it judgement — which call to reach for,
what the constraints are, what mistake it is about to make.
This drafts that artifact from the product's actual surface, then hands it over for review.
## Applies to
| | |
|---|---|
| **Project types** | Any product an agent writes code against — APIs, SDKs, CLIs, frameworks, platforms, MCP servers |
| **Stage** | Once the surface is stable enough that instructions will not be wrong next week. A skill describing a moving API is worse than none |
| **Needs** | The repository, or an OpenAPI/GraphQL schema, or reference docs. It reads the surface, not a description of it |
| **Skip if** | The product has no programmable surface, or the workflow is a single call with no failure modes — that belongs in the README |
Best on products where agents reliably get something wrong: an auth dance, a required
ordering, pagination, idempotency, a footgun the docs mention once.
## How to use
```
/agentrel:skill-forge forge a skill for this repository
/agentrel:skill-forge ./packages/sdk scope it to one package
/agentrel:skill-forge https://docs.acme.com forge from public docs
/agentrel:skill-forge --job "send an invoice" name the job explicitly
```
