load_skill
Load detailed skill documentation and optional reference or script files when a skill index becomes relevant to the current task, providing contextual guidance without execution.
Instructions
Load a skill pack body (and optionally a reference or script).
Agents receive only a compact skill index in their system prompt.
Call this tool to fetch the full ``SKILL.md`` body for a skill
when you decide it's relevant to the current task. Pass
``reference`` to get a deeper-context file or ``script`` to read
the content of an executable helper.
Args:
name: Skill name (matches the index entry, e.g. ``"backend"``).
reference: Optional filename under ``references/`` — for
example ``"python-conventions.md"``.
script: Optional filename under ``scripts/`` — for example
``"lint.sh"``. The script content is returned as text; the
MCP harness does not execute it.
Returns:
JSON with ``name``, ``body``, ``available_references``,
``available_scripts``, and the optional fetched content.
