🧩Agent Skills

Modular instruction sets that teach AI agents new capabilities — works with any agent in the Gemach ecosystem

Agent Skills are the building blocks of the Gemach agent ecosystem. Every capability an agent has — trading on-chain, bridging assets, managing payments, monitoring hardware — is delivered by a skill. And because skills are just markdown files, anyone can read, write, and share them.

What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are modular capability packages defined by SKILL.md files. A SKILL.md is a structured markdown document that describes a discrete capability: what the skill does, what tools it exposes, how the agent should invoke those tools, and example prompts that exercise it.

Skills are not compiled plugins or binary extensions. They are human-readable, version-controllable markdown files that any AI agent can load and follow. This design makes skills:

• Auditable — anyone can read exactly what an agent is instructed to do

• Composable — combine multiple skills to build complex, multi-step workflows

• Shareable — drop a SKILL.md file into any git repo and it's instantly available

• Agent-native — written for autonomous agents, not human UIs

Gemach ships 22 built-in skills organized into two categories: GDEX Trading Skills and Utility Skills. These are available in every agent out of the box.

How Skills Are Loaded

Skills follow a three-tier loading priority:

workspace skills  (highest priority)
       ↓
global skills
       ↓
built-in skills   (lowest priority / fallback)

Tier	Location	Purpose
Workspace	./workspace/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md	Project-specific overrides — highest priority
Global	~/.gclaw/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md	User-level skills shared across all agents
Built-in	Bundled with the agent binary	Default skills that ship with every install

If a skill with the same name exists at multiple tiers, the highest-priority version wins. This lets you override a built-in skill's behavior for a specific project without modifying global configuration.
