Import and export skills

  • Updated

Export a skill as a JSON file to share it across teams, back it up, or reuse it elsewhere. Import a skill to add it to your skills list without rebuilding it from scratch.

Skills use the SKILL.md format, so they are agentskills.io compatible. Skills you build in other Agent Skills tools work in Opal, and Opal skills work in those tools.
