Skills for AI Agents: Building Context with Dynamic Skills for Agentic Systems (Early Release)

Looking to create ultra-effective AI agents? Look no further than skills—a more and more fundamental part of building AI tools that perform rich tasks autonomously. In Skills for AI Agents, you'll learn what agent skills are, where they sit in the AI tooling process, and how to build agent skills for personal and business tasks. Plus, you'll see why skills have the potential to lead the future of agentic AI.

Using real-world examples and a practical approach, author Lucas Soares guides readers through the process of designing and implementing these skills. With hands-on exposure to the techniques for structuring tasks, you'll learn to enable agents to adapt to dynamic environments and tackle any task with precision. You'll come away equipped to reengineer AI applications and converge their capabilities with business and personal requirements, driving substantial value from AI systems.
