# Skills (Clawdis)
Clawdis uses **AgentSkills-compatible** skill folders to teach the agent how to use tools. Each skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter and instructions. Clawdis loads **managed skills** plus **workspace skills**, and filters them at load time based on environment, config, and binary presence.
Clawdis uses **AgentSkills-compatible** skill folders to teach the agent how to use tools. Each skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter and instructions. Clawdis loads **bundled skills** plus optional local overrides, and filters them at load time based on environment, config, and binary presence.
## Locations and precedence
Skills are loaded from **two** places:
Skills are loaded from **three** places:
1) **Managed skills**: `~/.clawdis/skills`
2) **Workspace skills**: `<workspace>/skills`
1) **Bundled skills**: shipped with the install (npm package or Clawdis.app)
2) **Managed/local skills**: `~/.clawdis/skills`
3) **Workspace skills**: `<workspace>/skills`
If a skill name conflicts, the **workspace** version wins (user overrides managed).
If a skill name conflicts, precedence is:
`<workspace>/skills` (highest) → `~/.clawdis/skills` → bundled skills (lowest)

## Managed skills lifecycle
Managed skills are owned by Clawdis (not user-editable). Workspace skills are user-owned and override managed ones by name. The macOS app or installer should copy bundled skills into `~/.clawdis/skills` on install/update.
Clawdis ships a baseline set of skills as **bundled skills** as part of the install (npm package or Clawdis.app). `~/.clawdis/skills` exists for local overrides (for example, pinning/patching a skill without changing the bundled copy). Workspace skills are user-owned and override both on name conflicts.
