+title_meta: Introducing the psake Agent Skill
+---
+
+We're excited to announce the launch of the [psake Agent Skill](https://github.com/psake/psake-llm-tools)—a specialized knowledge package that enables AI coding assistants like Claude and GitHub Copilot to provide expert assistance with psake build automation tasks. Built on the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) standard, this portable skill brings intelligent, context-aware guidance directly to your AI-assisted development workflow.
+

+
+## What is the psake Agent Skill?
+
+The psake Agent Skill is part of our growing collection of LLM tools designed to enhance how developers work with psake. Built on the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) standard, it provides AI assistants with deep knowledge of psake patterns, syntax, and best practices. This portable format means the same skill works across different AI platforms—whether you're using Claude, GitHub Copilot, or other compatible AI tools.
+
+## Key Features
+
+The skill includes four comprehensive knowledge components:
+
+**SKILL.md** – Core psake fundamentals covering command syntax, task definitions, dependencies, and troubleshooting patterns. This ensures your AI assistant understands the basics before diving into more complex scenarios.
+
+**PowerShell Modules Reference** – Detailed guidance on using PowerShellBuild for module development workflows, including task patterns, build configurations, and testing integration.
+
+**Build Types Reference** – Practical patterns for .NET, Node.js, and Docker builds, providing real-world examples for different project types.
+
+**Advanced Reference** – Coverage of sophisticated topics like dynamic task generation, custom logging implementations, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
+
+## What Can AI Assistants Do With This Skill?
+
+Once you've loaded the psake skill, your AI assistant can help with tasks like:
+
+- Building complete psakefiles with integrated Pester testing frameworks
+- Establishing build configurations for .NET solutions and PowerShell modules
+- Implementing dynamic task generation from configuration files
+- Troubleshooting build failures and dependency issues
+- Integrating psake workflows into CI/CD pipelines
+- Creating custom logging mechanisms
+- Developing cross-platform build scripts
+
+## Getting Started
+
+The psake Agent Skill works with multiple AI platforms thanks to the open Agent Skills standard.
+
+### Using with Claude
+
+1. Visit the [psake-llm-tools repository](https://github.com/psake/psake-llm-tools)
+2. Download the `psake.skill` file from the releases section
+3. Upload it to Claude through the skills interface
+4. Start building with AI-assisted psake expertise
+
+### Using with GitHub Copilot
+
+1. Download the `psake.skill` file from the [repository](https://github.com/psake/psake-llm-tools)
+2. Follow the [VS Code instructions for using shared skills](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/agent-skills#_use-shared-skills)
+3. Configure the skill in your workspace or user settings
+4. Access psake expertise directly in your editor
+
+The same skill file works across both platforms, making it easy to maintain consistent AI assistance regardless of which tool you prefer.
+
+## Open Standard, Open Source
+
+By building on the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) open standard, we ensure that psake expertise is portable across AI platforms. As more tools adopt this standard, your investment in configuring the psake skill will continue to pay dividends across your entire development toolchain.
+
+The psake-llm-tools repository is open source and welcomes community contributions. If you have patterns, examples, or improvements that would benefit other developers using psake with AI assistants, we'd love to see your pull requests.
+
+Whether you're new to psake or a seasoned automation expert, the psake Agent Skill can help streamline your workflow and provide intelligent guidance when you need it most. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
