About This Repository
This repository is inspired by Anthropic's Claude skills, but enhanced via Bluebag to work accross any LLM.
Bluebag gives your agents Skills, inspired by the same architecture that powers Anthropic's Claude Skills, and is the first skill infrastructure that works across all LLMs
To try out Bluebag:
Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend an AI agent's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform the AI agent from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
For more information, check out:
The repo contains example skills that demonstrate what's possible with skills system. These examples range from creative applications (art, music, design) to technical tasks (testing web apps, MCP server generation) to enterprise workflows (communications, branding, etc.).
Each skill is self-contained in its own directory with a SKILL.md file containing the instructions and metadata that agents use. Browse through these examples to get inspiration for your own skills or to understand different patterns and approaches.
The example skills in this repo are open source (Apache 2.0). We'll be adding more robust Skills in the coming weeks to demonstrate more complex production workflows.
Note: These are reference examples for inspiration and learning. They showcase general-purpose capabilities rather than organization-specific workflows or sensitive content.

Meta Skills
- skill-creator - Guide for creating effective skills that extend your agent's capabilities
- template-skill - A basic template to use as a starting point for new skills
Creating a Basic Skill
Skills are simple to create - just a folder with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter and instructions. You can use the template-skill in this repository as a starting point:
--- name: my-skill-name description: A clear description of what this skill does and when to use it --- # My Skill Name [Add your instructions here that Claude will follow when this skill is active] ## Examples - Example usage 1 - Example usage 2 ## Guidelines - Guideline 1 - Guideline 2
The frontmatter requires only two fields:
name- A unique identifier for your skill (lowercase, hyphens for spaces)description- A complete description of what the skill does and when to use it
The markdown content below contains the instructions, examples, and guidelines that your agent will follow. For more details, see How to create custom skills.
