Add skills

Use skills to give Veryfront Agent repeatable workflows and focused reference material. A skill is an instruction file that Agent can load when a task matches the skill description. You can let Agent choose a skill, or start a message with /skillname to request one.

Built-in skills

Veryfront Agent ships one built-in skill, veryfront. It covers platform work from planning to operations and loads focused references as a task needs them.

Skill	Purpose
`veryfront`	Work on Veryfront projects using official documentation and verified live state.

Other skill IDs depend on the host and the project. Check the available skills before you request one by name. Workflow pages such as Plan project work describe tasks you ask for in plain language. They don’t need their own skill IDs.

Add a project skill

Create project skills when the same workflow comes up often. For a source-first creation flow with MCP tool call examples, see Create a skill. Create skills/{skill-id}.md in your project:

skills/accessibility-review.md

---
name: accessibility-review
description: Review UI changes for keyboard, screen reader, and contrast issues.
allowed-tools:
  - list_files
  - get_file
  - search_files

# Accessibility Review

Use this skill when reviewing UI changes.

Check:

- Keyboard navigation.
- Form labels and error states.
- Focus order and visible focus.
- Color contrast.
- Screen reader names for icon-only controls.

Skill fields

Field	Description
`name`	Canonical skill identifier, and the skill’s directory name. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, 1-64 characters, no leading, trailing, or repeated hyphen. There is no separate display-name field — put the human-readable label in `description`.
`description`	Short routing description. Agent uses it to decide when the skill applies.
`allowed-tools`	Optional tool allowlist for work done through the skill.
`model`	Optional model override. Use it only when the workflow needs a different model budget.
`max-steps`	Optional step budget for longer workflows.

Write useful skill descriptions

The description is the routing contract.

Weak	Better
Helps with quality.	Review UI changes for keyboard, screen reader, and contrast issues.
Build stuff.	Implement scoped frontend changes using existing project patterns.
Research.	Compare options using project files and external sources, then write a report.

Use a skill

Let the agent load a skill automatically when it matches the task.
Type /skillname to trigger a specific skill.
Select a skill from the chat interface when you want explicit control.

Keep skills focused

Give each skill one clear domain or repeatable workflow. Keep the entrypoint small and load references only when a task needs them. Move long reference material into files linked from the skill when the workflow needs supporting context.
