Skill management

Reusable operating methods—triggers, procedures, judgement checks, and quality bars—that turn tacit team know-how into agent-ready skills.

Marketing capability page: exemplar.dev/harness/skill-management .

Why it matters

Ad hoc prompts do not scale judgement. Skills encode how your team actually works—when to escalate, what to verify, and what “done” means—so agents apply the same bars in every channel.

What Exemplar delivers

• Versioned skill definitions with triggers and required context
• Progressive disclosure (metadata → instructions → resources)
• Judgement checks and examples before high-impact actions
• Shared skills across IDE agents, console, and orchestrated workflows

How teams use it

Author skills once, version them, and roll out without editing IDE-local files. Pair with prompt management so tone and format contracts stay aligned with skill procedures.
