agentskills-fs 0.1.0

Filesystem-based skill provider for the Agent Skills format (https://agentskills.io)

agentskills-fs

Local filesystem skill provider for the Agent Skills SDK.

Serves Agent Skills from a local directory tree. Each subdirectory containing a SKILL.md file is a skill.

Installation

pip install agentskills-fs

Requires Python 3.12+. Installs agentskills-core and pyyaml as dependencies.

Expected Directory Layout

skills/
├── incident-response/
│   ├── SKILL.md              # YAML frontmatter + markdown body
│   ├── references/           # supplementary docs (optional)
│   ├── scripts/              # executable scripts (optional)
│   └── assets/               # diagrams, data files (optional)
└── another-skill/
    └── SKILL.md

Usage

from pathlib import Path
from agentskills_core import SkillRegistry
from agentskills_fs import LocalFileSystemSkillProvider

provider = LocalFileSystemSkillProvider(Path("./skills"))
registry = SkillRegistry()
await registry.register("incident-response", provider)

skill = registry.get_skill("incident-response")
meta = await skill.get_metadata()
body = await skill.get_body()
script = await skill.get_script("page-oncall.sh")

The provider reads files synchronously (local disk I/O is fast for small skill files) but exposes an async interface to satisfy the SkillProvider contract.

Security

Path traversal is guarded — skill IDs and resource names are validated to stay within the root directory. Attempts to escape (e.g. ../../etc/passwd) raise SkillNotFoundError or ResourceNotFoundError.
