Best way to include skills with Posit Assistant

I have a number of R packages that I use with Posit Assistant, and for each of them I have defined agentic skills. What is the best way to have Posit Assistant be aware of those skills and use them in preparing responses. Say for claude.ai, they are stored in the usual spot which is in ~/.claude/skills. I also have a version of the packages where they are in Inst/agentic-skills, not on CRAN yet but will be down the line.

Hi there, @rmendels! Apologies for the delay, have you seen this page? Skills — Posit Assistant

You can add your own skills at two levels:

  • User-level~/.posit/assistant/skills/{skill-name}/ or ~/.agents/skills/{skill-name}/ — available across all projects
  • Project-level.posit/assistant/skills/{skill-name}/ or .agents/skills/{skill-name}/ in your project root — scoped to a single project

Use the .posit/assistant/ path for skills meant specifically for Posit Assistant. Use .agents/skills for skills you want to share with other coding assistants that follow the Agent Skills specification, or that came from an installer like npx skills.

Please let me know if this helps!

Perfect. Thanks. I have defined the skills in Claude, but wasn't certain how to make Posit Assistant aware of them. They really help getting better response.
