I have no doubt agents are ruling the AI world in 2026. But even with such rapid advancements, there are areas where they struggle or need specialised instructions to execute a given task. Take for example, the task of coming up with a Project Requirements Document(PRD) for a new project. The agent may not know how to structure the document, the sub titles, the different task breakdowns, etc. This is exactly where the agent needs to be equiped with the skill to write such a specialised document specific to your organization. So, in this video, lets take a look into the new Agent Skill from Anthropic. Lets see how we can leverage it in VS Code.
