Release Notes
Agent Skills Amp supports agent skills. Skills let the agent lazily-load specific instructions on how to use local tools. We like skills because they improve agent tool use performance in a very context efficient way. Skills are installed to .agents/skills/ in your workspace by default. Amp also reads from ~/.config/agents/skills/ for user-level skills, and .claude/skills/ and ~/.claude/skills/ for compatibility with existing skills. Our team has been doing a ton of experimenting with skills over the past few weeks. Here are a few that we have found particularly useful: - Agent Sandbox: Isolated execution environment for running untrusted code safely. - Agent Skill Creator: Meta-skill for creating Claude agents autonomously with comprehensive skill architecture patterns. - BigQuery: Expert use of the bq cli tool for querying BigQuery datasets. - Tmux: Run servers and long-running tasks in the background. - Web Browser: Interact with web pages via Chrome DevTools Protocol for clicking, filling forms, and navigation.
