Summary

  • Adds Skills as a fourth key concept on the Agent Builder overview page alongside Agent Chat, Agents, and Tools
  • Enriches the skills.md intro with a structured breakdown of what a skill bundles (instructions, tools, context) and how skills differ from tools and system prompts
  • Documents the three skill invocation methods: automatic discovery, slash commands (with screenshot), and attachment-driven activation
  • Updates get-started.md final step to lead with skills as the primary extension point
  • Links use case examples to the Security and Observability solution-specific Agent Builder pages

Test plan

  • Verify cross-links resolve: skills.md, builtin-skills-reference.md, custom-skills.md, skill-creation-guidelines.md, solution-specific pages
  • Verify skill-slash-command.png renders at correct size
  • Confirm no merge conflicts with Refresh Agent Builder docs for 9.4 UI and navigation #5850 on get-started.md
