Summary by cubic

Adds a built-in Skills tool to the CLI so agents can read task-specific instructions from Markdown skills. Skills are loaded from SKILL.md files in project/user directories and returned with structured content.

• New Features

  • Built-in Skills tool; lists and reads skills by name.
  • Loads SKILL.md with frontmatter (name, description); collects extra file paths.
  • Structured output (name, description, content, optional files); clear error if not found.
  • Registered in all built-in tools; added tests for loader and tool.

• Migration

  • Add skills under .continue/skills//SKILL.md, .claude/skills//SKILL.md, or $CONTINUE_HOME/skills//SKILL.md.
  • Include name and description in SKILL.md frontmatter; body is the skill content.
  • Place helper files in the same folder; the tool will surface their paths.
