For agent builders
The agentprocess skill
An Agent Skill that teaches any skills-compatible agent to work steps and write processes.
The agentprocess skill is an Agent Skill: a folder with a SKILL.md that a compatible agent loads when a task calls for it. It teaches the model the protocol, so you do not have to write that into your own prompts.
It covers:
- Working steps: the loop, how to read a claim (handoff first), how to submit, every error code and what to do about it, retries with
requestId, and when to escalate. - Writing processes: the
PROCESS.mdformat, the rules a server checks, and a reference on process design and assurance for authors and reviewers.
It works on any conforming server. The connected server's own tool schemas and describe tell the agent what that server offers.
Install it
The skill lives in the repository at skills/agentprocess. Copy that folder into a skills directory your agent scans:
| Where | For |
|---|---|
.agents/skills/agentprocess/ in a project | Any client that follows the cross-client convention. |
~/.agents/skills/agentprocess/ | The same, for every project. |
Your client's own directory, such as .claude/skills/ | Clients with their own location. |
git clone https://github.com/agentprocess/agentprocess.git
mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -r agentprocess/skills/agentprocess .agents/skills/Then connect the agent to a process server's MCP endpoint. When a task involves process steps or a PROCESS.md, the agent loads the skill and follows it.
Without skills support
An agent that does not support skills can still work steps. Follow How to add Agent Process support, or put the contents of SKILL.md in the agent's instructions.
