Set up

Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.

Download ZIP from GitHub Open the repository

The download comes from github.com/Factory-AI/skills itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.

Skills

Skills are reusable capabilities that Droids invoke on demand. They pack instructions, expertise, and tools into a lightweight package that teaches the agent how to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way.

Key properties:

  • Model-invoked - Droids decide when to use them based on the task, not typed commands
  • Composable - Can be chained together as part of larger workflows
  • Token-efficient - Lightweight and focused, not bloated with unused tools or repeated instructions

For more information, see the Factory Skills documentation.

About This Repository

This repository contains example skills for Factory's Droid system. These skills demonstrate patterns for common workflows like code review and security analysis.

Each skill is self-contained in its own folder with a SKILL.md file containing the instructions and metadata that Droids use. Browse through these skills to get inspiration for your own or to understand different patterns and approaches.

Where Skills Live

Skills are discovered from well-known locations:

ScopeLocationPurpose
Workspace<repo>/.factory/skills/Project skills shared with teammates; checked into git
Personal~/.factory/skills/Private skills that follow you across projects

Each skill lives in its own directory:

  • Workspace: <repo>/.factory/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
  • Personal: ~/.factory/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Quickstart

  1. Copy a skill folder from skills/<skill-name>/ to your target location:

    # For project-wide use
cp -r skills/code-review .factory/skills/code-review

# For personal use across all projects
cp -r skills/security-review ~/.factory/skills/security-review

  2. Restart droid so it rescans skills

  3. Describe your task normally - the Droid will automatically invoke matching skills when they apply

Included Skills

SkillDescription
code-reviewReview code changes (diffs, PRs, patches) with structured, actionable feedback on correctness, maintainability, and test coverage
security-reviewSTRIDE-based security analysis that scans code for vulnerabilities, validates exploitability, and outputs structured findings for patch generation. Supports PR review, scheduled scans, and full repo audits

Creating a Basic Skill

Skills are simple to create - just a folder with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter and instructions:

---
name: my-skill-name
description: A clear description of what this skill does and when to use it
---

# My Skill Name

[Add your instructions here that the Droid will follow when this skill is active]

## Instructions
- Step 1
- Step 2

## Guidelines
- Guideline 1
- Guideline 2

The frontmatter requires only two fields:

  • name - A unique identifier for your skill (lowercase, hyphens for spaces)
  • description - A complete description of what the skill does and when to use it

Use the template/ folder as a starting point.
