Agent skills

Agent Skills give the agent domain knowledge for working correctly with each area of Automatic.css.

You can customize any skill’s instructions to better match your workflow.

Where to find it

WordPress admin → Schema → Context → Agent Skills

How it works

• Skills are only loaded on demand.
• Before the agent works in — or advises on — an area (colors, spacing, typography, and so on), it loads the matching skill.
• Skills provide the “rules of the road” so the agent does not have to guess how ACSS works.

Skills available

In Context → Agent Skills, you will see a list of skills. Each skill includes a short summary of what it covers.
