This guide explains the AI Skills system that provides on-demand context and patterns to AI agents working with the Prowler codebase.
What are AI Skills? Skills are structured instructions that help AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) understand Prowler’s conventions, patterns, and best practices.

Skill Structure

Each skill follows the Agent Skills spec: 
skills/{skill-name}/
├── SKILL.md          # Patterns, rules, decision trees
├── assets/           # Code templates, schemas
└── references/       # Links to local docs (single source of truth)

​
Key Design Decisions

  1. Self-contained skills - Critical patterns inline for fast loading
  2. Local doc references - No web URLs, points to docs/developer-guide/*.mdx
  3. Single source of truth - Skills reference docs, no duplication
  4. On-demand loading - AI loads only what’s needed for the task

​
Creating New Skills

Use the skill-creator meta-skill to create new skills that follow the Agent Skills spec. See AGENTS.md for the full list of available skills and their triggers.
