# Agent Skills (Experimental)
|
||||
|
||||
> Create, manage, and share Skills to extend Qwen Code’s capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide shows you how to create, use, and manage Agent Skills in **Qwen Code**. Skills are modular capabilities that extend the model’s effectiveness through organized folders containing instructions (and optionally scripts/resources).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!note]
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Skills are currently **experimental** and must be enabled with `--experimental-skills`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Qwen Code (recent version)
|
||||
- Run with the experimental flag enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
qwen --experimental-skills
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Basic familiarity with Qwen Code ([Quickstart](../quickstart))
|
||||
|
||||
## What are Agent Skills?
|
||||
|
||||
Agent Skills package expertise into discoverable capabilities. Each Skill consists of a `SKILL.md` file with instructions that the model can load when relevant, plus optional supporting files like scripts and templates.
|
||||
|
||||
### How Skills are invoked
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are **model-invoked** — the model autonomously decides when to use them based on your request and the Skill’s description. This is different from slash commands, which are **user-invoked** (you explicitly type `/command`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
- Extend Qwen Code for your workflows
|
||||
- Share expertise across your team via git
|
||||
- Reduce repetitive prompting
|
||||
- Compose multiple Skills for complex tasks
|
||||
|
||||
## Create a Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are stored as directories containing a `SKILL.md` file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Personal Skills
|
||||
|
||||
Personal Skills are available across all your projects. Store them in `~/.qwen/skills/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use personal Skills for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your individual workflows and preferences
|
||||
- Experimental Skills you’re developing
|
||||
- Personal productivity helpers
|
||||
|
||||
### Project Skills
|
||||
|
||||
Project Skills are shared with your team. Store them in `.qwen/skills/` within your project:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .qwen/skills/my-skill-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use project Skills for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Team workflows and conventions
|
||||
- Project-specific expertise
|
||||
- Shared utilities and scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Project Skills can be checked into git and automatically become available to teammates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Write `SKILL.md`
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter and Markdown content:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: your-skill-name
|
||||
description: Brief description of what this Skill does and when to use it
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
# Your Skill Name
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
Provide clear, step-by-step guidance for Qwen Code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
Show concrete examples of using this Skill.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Field requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Qwen Code currently validates that:
|
||||
|
||||
- `name` is a non-empty string
|
||||
- `description` is a non-empty string
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended conventions (not strictly enforced yet):
|
||||
|
||||
- Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens in `name`
|
||||
- Make `description` specific: include both **what** the Skill does and **when** to use it (key words users will naturally mention)
|
||||
|
||||
## Add supporting files
|
||||
|
||||
Create additional files alongside `SKILL.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
my-skill/
|
||||
├── SKILL.md (required)
|
||||
├── reference.md (optional documentation)
|
||||
├── examples.md (optional examples)
|
||||
├── scripts/
|
||||
│ └── helper.py (optional utility)
|
||||
└── templates/
|
||||
└── template.txt (optional template)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Reference these files from `SKILL.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
For advanced usage, see [reference.md](reference.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Run the helper script:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python scripts/helper.py input.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
## View available Skills
|
||||
|
||||
When `--experimental-skills` is enabled, Qwen Code discovers Skills from:
|
||||
|
||||
- Personal Skills: `~/.qwen/skills/`
|
||||
- Project Skills: `.qwen/skills/`
|
||||
|
||||
To view available Skills, ask Qwen Code directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
What Skills are available?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or inspect the filesystem:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List personal Skills
|
||||
ls ~/.qwen/skills/
|
||||
|
||||
# List project Skills (if in a project directory)
|
||||
ls .qwen/skills/
|
||||
|
||||
# View a specific Skill’s content
|
||||
cat ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Test a Skill
|
||||
|
||||
After creating a Skill, test it by asking questions that match your description.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: if your description mentions “PDF files”:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Can you help me extract text from this PDF?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The model autonomously decides to use your Skill if it matches the request — you don’t need to explicitly invoke it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debug a Skill
|
||||
|
||||
If Qwen Code doesn’t use your Skill, check these common issues:
|
||||
|
||||
### Make the description specific
|
||||
|
||||
Too vague:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
description: Helps with documents
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Specific:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
description: Extract text and tables from PDF files, fill forms, merge documents. Use when working with PDFs, forms, or document extraction.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify file path
|
||||
|
||||
- Personal Skills: `~/.qwen/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
|
||||
- Project Skills: `.qwen/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Personal
|
||||
ls ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Project
|
||||
ls .qwen/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check YAML syntax
|
||||
|
||||
Invalid YAML prevents the Skill metadata from loading correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat SKILL.md | head -n 15
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure:
|
||||
|
||||
- Opening `---` on line 1
|
||||
- Closing `---` before Markdown content
|
||||
- Valid YAML syntax (no tabs, correct indentation)
|
||||
|
||||
### View errors
|
||||
|
||||
Run Qwen Code with debug mode to see Skill loading errors:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
qwen --experimental-skills --debug
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Share Skills with your team
|
||||
|
||||
You can share Skills through project repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add the Skill under `.qwen/skills/`
|
||||
2. Commit and push
|
||||
3. Teammates pull the changes and run with `--experimental-skills`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add .qwen/skills/
|
||||
git commit -m "Add team Skill for PDF processing"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Update a Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `SKILL.md` directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Personal Skill
|
||||
code ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Project Skill
|
||||
code .qwen/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Changes take effect the next time you start Qwen Code. If Qwen Code is already running, restart it to load the updates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Remove a Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Delete the Skill directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Personal
|
||||
rm -rf ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill
|
||||
|
||||
# Project
|
||||
rm -rf .qwen/skills/my-skill
|
||||
git commit -m "Remove unused Skill"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Keep Skills focused
|
||||
|
||||
One Skill should address one capability:
|
||||
|
||||
- Focused: “PDF form filling”, “Excel analysis”, “Git commit messages”
|
||||
- Too broad: “Document processing” (split into smaller Skills)
|
||||
|
||||
### Write clear descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
Help the model discover when to use Skills by including specific triggers:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
description: Analyze Excel spreadsheets, create pivot tables, and generate charts. Use when working with Excel files, spreadsheets, or .xlsx data.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test with your team
|
||||
|
||||
- Does the Skill activate when expected?
|
||||
- Are the instructions clear?
|
||||
- Are there missing examples or edge cases?
