AI Skill

An AI Skill is a packaged, reusable capability that combines a prompt, a knowledge base, tools, and configuration into a single discoverable unit — like a function in software, but for AI capabilities. Skills are the building blocks of mature enterprise AI architectures. A "contract review" skill might bundle a legal-domain prompt template, access to a contract template library, document-parsing tools, and access controls. Once published, the skill can be invoked by chatbots, called from workflows, or composed with other skills. Skills standards are emerging — Anthropic's Skills (introduced in late 2025 with discoverable SKILL.md files for Claude), Microsoft Copilot Plugins, ChatGPT GPTs, and Google's Gems all represent variations on the pattern. Tools supporting skills include Anthropic's Skills system, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Vertex AI Agent Builder, ChatGPT Builder, and emerging open standards. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs treat skills as governed assets — versioned, reviewed, permission-controlled — supporting responsible AI through modular, reusable, auditable AI capabilities across enterprise AI portfolios.
