Brute::Tools::SkillLoad

module Brute::Tools
  class SkillLoad < Brute::Tool
  end
end

The skill tool — stages 2 (activation) and 3 (execution) of the Agent Skills progressive-disclosure lifecycle (https://agentskills.io).

Stage 1 (discovery) happens in the system prompt: Brute::Prompts::Skills lists each skill’s name + description only (~100 tokens each). When a task matches, the model calls this tool with the skill name to pull the full SKILL.md body into the conversation (stage 2).

The output also reports the skill’s base directory and a capped listing of bundled files. That is stage 3: skills bundle scripts/, references/, and assets/ that the model runs or reads through the agent’s existing tools (shell, read) by relative path. There is no separate skill runtime.

The tool must scan the same directories as Prompts::Skills, or it would advertise skills it cannot load. Both default to Dir.pwd; agents that point the prompt at a custom root (e.g. ctx.merge(cwd: dir)) should build the tool with the matching cwd: [Brute::Tools::SkillLoad.new](/brute/reference/brute/tools/skill-load/#selfn ew)(cwd: dir).
