myskills-activity) in F1 that manages skill files — the Markdown files your AI coding agents read for project context. Instead of re-explaining your architecture, package manager, scripts, and conventions at the start of every agent session, you write them once as a skill and every agent picks them up automatically.
What is a skill?
A skill is a Markdown file placed at your workspace root or inside a dedicated skills folder. The three primary skill file names are:AGENTS.md— repository-wide instructions for OpenAI Codex and compatible agents.CLAUDE.md— Claude Code–specific workflow notes; may referenceAGENTS.mdwith@AGENTS.md.DESIGN.md— design-system and UI guidelines for design-aware agents.
.agents/skills/<name>/ or .claude/skills/<name>/ and each contain a SKILL.md manifest. F1 watches all of these locations and keeps the panel in sync automatically.
Opening My Skills
PressCtrl+3 from anywhere in VS Code to focus the My Skills panel. You can also run the command f1.mySkills.openCreate from the Command Palette to jump directly to the Create tab.
The three tabs
My Skills is organized into three tabs, each with its own keyboard shortcut when the panel is focused:| Tab | Shortcut | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Create | Alt+1 | Generate AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or DESIGN.md |
| Install | Alt+2 | Browse and install skills from the marketplace |
| Local | Alt+3 | Manage skills already present in your workspace |
Why skills matter
AI coding agents are stateless by default — they have no memory of your project’s package manager, test commands, build pipeline, or naming conventions. A well-crafted skill file answers all of these questions upfront, reducing the time agents spend exploring the workspace and the number of incorrect assumptions they make. The F1 skill system makes it easy to create, share, and reuse these context files across projects.Install Skills
