SkillSpec: an open standard to make AI agent skills verifiable
SkillSpec is an project for managing the 'skills' AI agents use — sets of instructions for performing specific tasks — in a safer, checkable way. It defines skills as s, meaning fixed inputs, outputs, and behavior rules, so they're easy for people to follow and possible to test.
Its 'Doctor' feature scans a skill before it's imported and produces a risk report flagging potential issues. A guided import process lets users bring in outside skills more safely, and an alignment-proof feature checks whether a skill actually behaves as intended.
Key points
- Defines skills as s that can be tested and verified
- Doctor feature scans skills before import and reports risks
- Guided import process makes bringing in outside skills safer
- Alignment proof checks whether a skill behaves as intended
