Skill
Instructions that teach an agent a task — and a Zeph skill teaches it to do that task with your Zeph.
A skill is a set of instructions that teaches an agent how to do a task. It is a plain Markdown file — the same kind of skill file Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop already read. Install one and it lands in the agent's own skills folder, next to whatever it already has.
What a Zeph skill also teaches
An ordinary skill teaches a task. A Zeph skill also teaches the agent to do that task with your Zeph.
A Zeph skill comes with the instructions for using it with your device — how to put a result on a glance, or ask you a question on the device's screen. The skill knows about your whole Zeph, and not only the task. That is what the library adds to a skill.
An ordinary skill, plus your Zeph
An app can carry skills
An app's package can bring its own skills — the instructions that teach an agent to drive it. They show up in the library alongside the rest, marked with the app that added them, and you install each one into the agent you choose.
Write your own
Authoring a skill is a Build-track job. It is a Markdown file with a few added notes about your Zeph, and it can carry prefab device screens for the agent to push. See Build a skill.
What installing a skill does
Installing copies the skill's SKILL.md, and any prefab device screens it carries, into the client's skills directory — Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop. Nothing runs at install time; the agent reads the file when it needs it.
