Overview

skills.md is a remote skill platform for AI agents. The agent discovers a skill, asks for a quote when the run costs money, sends inputs to the hosted runtime, and receives artifacts back in the workspace.

Folder	Purpose
`.skills/exports/<skill>/<run-id>/`	Files generated by a skill run.
`.skills/runs/<run-id>/`	Local metadata, logs, and receipts for a run.
`.skills/pins/`	Local preferences for commonly used remote skills.
`.skills/cache/`	Safe cache entries that can be rebuilt.
