AbstractSkill

AbstractSkill is the shared Python library for Agent Skills (SKILL.md) in the AbstractFramework ecosystem.

It provides a small, dependency-light foundation for:

• parsing and validating SKILL.md frontmatter and instructions
• discovering skills on disk (progressive disclosure: metadata first)
• computing stable content hashes for skill evolution and replay safety
• formatting compact <available_skills> prompt blocks for hosts and agents
• composing a skill's tool declarations with an operator grant (never widening)
• classifying skill trust: validated skills, do-not-use advisories, and a fail-closed verdict (trust model)

Flows run; skills activate. AbstractSkill owns the portable skill contract so abstractruntime, abstractgateway, and thin clients can share identical semantics without duplicating parsers.

Install

pip install abstractskill
