+# ENTRYPOINT Feature for Ollama Agents
+
+## Overview
+
+The ENTRYPOINT command allows agents to specify an external program to run instead of the built-in Ollama chat loop. This makes Ollama a packaging/distribution mechanism for agents with custom runtimes.
+
+## Status: Implemented ✓
+
+## What Was Done
+
+### 1. Types & API
+
+**`types/model/config.go`**
+- Added `Entrypoint string` field to `ConfigV2` struct
+
+**`api/types.go`**
+- Added `Entrypoint string` to `CreateRequest` (line ~576)
+- Added `Entrypoint string` to `ShowResponse` (line ~632)
+
+### 2. Parser
+
+**`parser/parser.go`**
+- Added "entrypoint" to `isValidCommand()` switch
+- Added case in `CreateRequest()` to set `req.Entrypoint = c.Args`
+- Updated `ParseFile()` to allow ENTRYPOINT without FROM (entrypoint-only agents)
+- Added entrypoint serialization in `Command.String()`
+
+### 3. Server
+
+**`server/create.go`**
+- Added `config.Entrypoint = r.Entrypoint` to store entrypoint in config
+- Made FROM optional when ENTRYPOINT is specified:
+  ```go
+  } else if r.Entrypoint != "" {
+      // Entrypoint-only agent: no base model needed
+      slog.Debug("create entrypoint-only agent", "entrypoint", r.Entrypoint)
+  }
+  ```
+
+**`server/routes.go`**
+- Added `Entrypoint: m.Config.Entrypoint` to ShowResponse in `GetModelInfo()`
+
+**`server/images.go`**
+- Added entrypoint serialization in `Model.String()`:
+  ```go
+  if m.Config.Entrypoint != "" {
+      modelfile.Commands = append(modelfile.Commands, parser.Command{
+          Name: "entrypoint",
+          Args: m.Config.Entrypoint,
+      })
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 4. CLI
+
+**`cmd/cmd.go`**
+- Added `Entrypoint string` to `runOptions` struct
+- Updated agent detection to include Entrypoint check
+- Added entrypoint check before interactive mode:
+  ```go
+  if opts.Entrypoint != "" {
+      return runEntrypoint(cmd, opts)
+  }
+  ```
+- Implemented `runEntrypoint()` function:
+  - Parses entrypoint into command and args
+  - Appends user prompt as additional argument if provided
+  - Looks up command in PATH
+  - Creates subprocess with stdin/stdout/stderr connected
+  - Runs and waits for completion
+- Updated `showInfo()` to display entrypoint in Agent section
+- Updated `showInfo()` to hide Model section for entrypoint-only agents (no blank fields)
+- Added `$PROMPT` placeholder support in `runEntrypoint()`:
+  - If entrypoint contains `$PROMPT`, it's replaced with the user's prompt
+  - If no placeholder, prompt is appended as positional argument (backwards compatible)
+  - If no prompt provided, `$PROMPT` is removed from the command
+
+## Usage
+
+### Agentfile
+```dockerfile
+# Minimal entrypoint agent (no model required)
+ENTRYPOINT ducky
+
+# Or with full path
+ENTRYPOINT /usr/local/bin/ducky
+
+# Or with arguments
+ENTRYPOINT ducky --verbose
+
+# Use $PROMPT placeholder to control where prompt is inserted
+ENTRYPOINT ducky -p $PROMPT
+
+# Without placeholder, prompt is appended as positional argument
+ENTRYPOINT echo "Hello"  # becomes: echo "Hello" <prompt>
+
+# Can still bundle skills/MCPs with entrypoint agents
+SKILL ./my-skill
+MCP calculator python3 ./calc.py
+ENTRYPOINT my-custom-runtime
+```
+
+### CLI
+```bash
+# Create the agent
+ollama create ducky -f ducky.Agentfile
+
+# Run it - starts the entrypoint (e.g., REPL)
+ollama run ducky
+
+# With prompt (passed as argument to entrypoint)
+ollama run ducky "hello"
+
+# Show agent info
+ollama show ducky
+#   Agent
+#     entrypoint    ducky
+```
+
+## Testing Done
+
+1. **Basic entrypoint execution**: ✓
+   ```bash
+   # Agentfile: ENTRYPOINT echo "Hello from entrypoint"
+   ollama run test-entry  # Output: "Hello from entrypoint"
+   ```
+
+2. **Prompt passing (positional)**: ✓
+   ```bash
+   # Agentfile: ENTRYPOINT echo "Args:"
+   ollama run echo-test "hello world"  # Output: "Args:" hello world
+   ```
+
+3. **Prompt passing ($PROMPT placeholder)**: ✓
+   ```bash
+   # Agentfile: ENTRYPOINT echo "Prompt was:" $PROMPT "end"
+   ollama run echo-placeholder "hello world"  # Output: "Prompt was:" hello world "end"
+   ollama run echo-placeholder                # Output: "Prompt was:" "end"
+   ```
+
+4. **Show command**: ✓
+   ```bash
+   ollama show ducky
+   #   Agent
+   #     entrypoint    ducky
+   # (Model section hidden for entrypoint-only agents)
+   ```
+
+5. **List command**: ✓
+   - Entrypoint-only agents show with small sizes (~200 bytes)
+
+## Left Over / Future Enhancements
+
+### 1. Context Passing via Environment Variables
+Pass agent context to entrypoint via env vars:
+- `OLLAMA_AGENT_NAME` - Name of the agent
+- `OLLAMA_SKILLS_PATH` - Path to bundled skills
+- `OLLAMA_MCPS` - JSON of MCP configurations
+
+### ~~2. Arguments Placeholder~~ ✓ DONE
+~~Support placeholder syntax for more control:~~
+```dockerfile
+# Now supported!
+ENTRYPOINT ducky -p $PROMPT
+```
+
+### 3. Working Directory
+Set working directory for entrypoint:
+```dockerfile
+WORKDIR /app
+ENTRYPOINT ./run.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Interactive Mode Detection
+Different behavior for REPL vs single-shot:
+- Detect if stdin is a TTY
+- Pass different flags based on mode
+
+### 5. Signal Handling
+Improved signal forwarding to subprocess:
+- Forward SIGINT, SIGTERM gracefully
+- Handle cleanup on parent exit
+
+### 6. Entrypoint with Model
+Allow both model and entrypoint:
+```dockerfile
+FROM llama3.2
+ENTRYPOINT my-custom-ui
+```
+The entrypoint could then use the model via Ollama API.
+
+### 7. Pull/Push for Entrypoint Agents
+- Currently entrypoint agents can be created locally
+- Need to test/verify push/pull to registry works correctly
+- May need to handle entrypoint binaries (or just reference system commands)
+
+### 8. Error Handling
+- Better error messages when entrypoint command not found
+- Validation of entrypoint during create (optional, warn if not found)
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+1. **Subprocess mode (not exec)**: Ollama stays as parent process to handle signals and cleanup
+
+2. **No context passing initially**: Keep it simple, entrypoint handles its own config
+
+3. **Skills/MCPs allowed**: Enables packaging assets with the agent even if entrypoint manages execution
+
+4. **FROM optional**: Entrypoint agents don't need a model, just the runtime
+
+5. **Prompt as argument**: User prompt is appended as argument to entrypoint command (simplest approach)

+# Agent Skills Feature - Implementation Summary
+
+This document summarizes all changes made to implement agent skills in Ollama, enabling `ollama run <agent>` with skill-based capabilities.
+
+## Overview
+
+Agents are models with attached skills. Skills are directories containing a `SKILL.md` file with instructions and optional executable scripts. When an agent runs, skills are loaded and injected into the system prompt, and the model can execute scripts via tool calls.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### 1. `cmd/skills.go` (NEW FILE)
+
+Core skills implementation:
+
+```go
+// Key types
+type skillMetadata struct {
+    Name        string `yaml:"name"`
+    Description string `yaml:"description"`
+}
+
+type skillDefinition struct {
+    Name        string
+    Description string
+    Content     string  // SKILL.md body content
+    Dir         string  // Absolute path to skill directory
+    SkillPath   string  // Absolute path to SKILL.md
+}
+
+type skillCatalog struct {
+    Skills []skillDefinition
+    byName map[string]skillDefinition
+}
+```
+
+**Key functions:**
+- `loadSkills(paths []string)` - Walks skill directories, parses SKILL.md files
+- `parseSkillFile(path, skillDir)` - Extracts YAML frontmatter and body content
+- `SystemPrompt()` - Generates system prompt with skill instructions
+- `Tools()` - Returns `run_skill_script` and `read_skill_file` tools
+- `RunToolCall(call)` - Executes tool calls from the model
+- `runSkillScript(skillDir, command)` - Executes shell commands in skill directory
+
+**Tools provided to model:**
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `run_skill_script` | Execute a script in a skill's directory |
+| `read_skill_file` | Read a file from a skill's directory |
+
+**Security note:** `runSkillScript` has documented limitations (no sandboxing, no path validation). See the function's doc comment for details.
+
+---
+
+### 2. `cmd/cmd.go`
+
+**Changes to `runOptions` struct:**
+```go
+type runOptions struct {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    IsAgent   bool
+    AgentType string
+    Skills    []string
+}
+```
+
+**Agent detection in `RunHandler`** (~line 497-503):
+```go
+// Check if this is an agent
+isAgent := info.AgentType != "" || len(info.Skills) > 0
+if isAgent {
+    opts.IsAgent = true
+    opts.AgentType = info.AgentType
+    opts.Skills = info.Skills
+}
+```
+
+**Route agents to chat API** (~line 557-562):
+```go
+// For agents, use chat API even in non-interactive mode to support tools
+if opts.IsAgent {
+    opts.Messages = append(opts.Messages, api.Message{Role: "user", Content: opts.Prompt})
+    _, err := chat(cmd, opts)
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+**Skills loading in `chat` function** (~line 1347-1361):
+```go
+var skillsCatalog *skillCatalog
+if opts.IsAgent && len(opts.Skills) > 0 {
+    skillsCatalog, err = loadSkills(opts.Skills)
+    // ... error handling ...
+    // Print loaded skills
+    fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Loaded skills: %s\n", strings.Join(skillNames, ", "))
+}
+```
+
+**System prompt injection** (~line 1448-1455):
+- Skills system prompt is prepended to messages
+
+**Tool execution** (~line 1497-1533):
+- Executes pending tool calls via `skillsCatalog.RunToolCall()`
+- Displays script execution and output to terminal
+
+---
+
+### 3. `parser/parser.go`
+
+**New valid commands** in `isValidCommand()`:
+```go
+case "from", "license", "template", "system", "adapter", "renderer",
+     "parser", "parameter", "message", "requires", "skill", "agent_type":
+```
+
+**Command handling in `CreateRequest()`**:
+```go
+case "skill":
+    skills = append(skills, c.Args)
+case "agent_type":
+    req.AgentType = c.Args
+```
+
+**Underscore support in command names** (~line 545):
+```go
+case isAlpha(r), r == '_':
+    return stateName, r, nil
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. `api/types.go`
+
+**CreateRequest additions** (~line 560-564):
+```go
+// Skills is a list of skill directories for the agent
+Skills []string `json:"skills,omitempty"`
+
+// AgentType defines the type of agent (e.g., "conversational", "task-based")
+AgentType string `json:"agent_type,omitempty"`
+```
+
+**ShowResponse additions** (~line 633-637):
+```go
+// Skills loaded for this agent
+Skills []string `json:"skills,omitempty"`
+
+// AgentType for this agent
+AgentType string `json:"agent_type,omitempty"`
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. `types/model/config.go`
+
+**ConfigV2 additions**:
+```go
+type ConfigV2 struct {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+
+    // Agent-specific fields
+    Skills    []string `json:"skills,omitempty"`
+    AgentType string   `json:"agent_type,omitempty"`
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. `server/create.go`
+
+**Store agent fields** (~line 65-66):
+```go
+config.Skills = r.Skills
+config.AgentType = r.AgentType
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. `server/routes.go`
+
+**Return agent fields in ShowResponse** (~line 1107):
+```go
+resp := &api.ShowResponse{
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    Skills:    m.Config.Skills,
+    AgentType: m.Config.AgentType,
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 8. `envconfig/config.go`
+
+**Environment variable support**:
+```go
+func Skills() []string {
+    raw := strings.TrimSpace(Var("OLLAMA_SKILLS"))
+    if raw == "" {
+        return []string{}
+    }
+    return strings.Split(raw, ",")
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Agentfile Format
+
+Agentfiles use the same syntax as Modelfiles with additional commands:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM gpt-oss:20b
+
+AGENT_TYPE conversational
+SKILL /path/to/skills/directory
+
+SYSTEM You are a helpful assistant.
+
+PARAMETER temperature 0.3
+PARAMETER top_p 0.9
+```
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `SKILL` | Path to a directory containing skill subdirectories |
+| `AGENT_TYPE` | Type of agent (e.g., "conversational") |
+
+---
+
+## SKILL.md Format
+
+Each skill is a directory with a `SKILL.md` file:
+
+```
+calculator-skill/
+├── SKILL.md
+└── scripts/
+    └── calculate.py
+```
+
+**SKILL.md structure:**
+```markdown
+---
+name: calculator-skill
+description: A skill for performing calculations.
+---
+
+# Calculator Skill
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Use `run_skill_script` to execute calculations
+2. Call: `python3 scripts/calculate.py '<expression>'`
+
+## Examples
+
+For "What is 25 * 4?":
+- Call: run_skill_script with skill="calculator-skill" and command="python3 scripts/calculate.py '25 * 4'"
+```
+
+**Requirements:**
+- `name` must match directory name
+- `name` must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens only
+- `name` max 64 characters
+- `description` required, max 1024 characters
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Create an agent
+ollama create math-agent -f math-agent.Agentfile
+
+# Run the agent
+ollama run math-agent "What is 25 * 4?"
+
+# Output:
+# Loaded skills: calculator-skill
+# Running script in calculator-skill: python3 scripts/calculate.py '25 * 4'
+# Output:
+# 25 * 4 = 100
+```
+
+---
+
+## Flow Diagram
+
+```
+1. ollama run math-agent "query"
+       │
+       ▼
+2. RunHandler detects agent (AgentType or Skills present)
+       │
+       ▼
+3. Routes to chat() instead of generate()
+       │
+       ▼
+4. loadSkills() parses SKILL.md files
+       │
+       ▼
+5. SystemPrompt() injects skill instructions
+       │
+       ▼
+6. Tools() provides run_skill_script, read_skill_file
+       │
+       ▼
+7. Model generates response (may include tool calls)
+       │
+       ▼
+8. RunToolCall() executes scripts, returns output
+       │
+       ▼
+9. Display results to user
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+The `runSkillScript` function has known limitations documented in the code:
+
+- No sandboxing (commands run with user permissions)
+- No path validation (model can run any command)
+- Shell injection risk (`sh -c` is used)
+- No executable allowlist
+- No environment isolation
+
+**Potential improvements** (documented as TODOs):
+- Restrict to skill directory paths only
+- Allowlist executables (python3, node, bash)
+- Use sandboxing (Docker, nsjail, seccomp)
+- Require explicit script registration in SKILL.md

+# MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration
+
+This document describes the MCP integration for Ollama agents, enabling agents to use external tools via the Model Context Protocol.
+
+## Overview
+
+MCP allows Ollama agents to communicate with external tool servers over JSON-RPC 2.0 via stdio. This enables agents to access capabilities like web search, file operations, databases, and more through standardized tool interfaces.
+
+## Status
+
+| Phase | Description | Status |
+|-------|-------------|--------|
+| Phase 1 | Types & Parser | ✅ Complete |
+| Phase 2 | Layer Handling | ✅ Complete |
+| Phase 3 | Runtime Manager | ✅ Complete |
+| Phase 4 | CLI Commands | ✅ Complete |
+
+## Agentfile Syntax
+
+### Simple Command Format
+```dockerfile
+MCP <name> <command> [args...]
+```
+
+Example:
+```dockerfile
+FROM llama3.2
+AGENT TYPE conversational
+SYSTEM You are a helpful assistant with MCP tools.
+MCP calculator python3 ./mcp-server.py
+MCP websearch node ./search-server.js
+```
+
+### JSON Format
+```dockerfile
+MCP {"name": "custom", "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "server.py"], "env": {"API_KEY": "xxx"}}
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Type Definitions
+
+**MCPRef** (`types/model/config.go`):
+```go
+type MCPRef struct {
+    Name    string            `json:"name,omitempty"`
+    Digest  string            `json:"digest,omitempty"`
+    Command string            `json:"command,omitempty"`
+    Args    []string          `json:"args,omitempty"`
+    Env     map[string]string `json:"env,omitempty"`
+    Type    string            `json:"type,omitempty"`  // "stdio"
+}
+```
+
+### Tool Namespacing
+
+MCP tools are namespaced to avoid conflicts:
+- Format: `mcp_{serverName}_{toolName}`
+- Example: Server "calculator" with tool "add" → `mcp_calculator_add`
+
+### Runtime Flow
+
+1. Agent starts → MCP servers spawn as subprocesses
+2. Initialize via JSON-RPC: `initialize` → `notifications/initialized`
+3. Discover tools: `tools/list`
+4. During chat, model calls tools → routed via `tools/call`
+5. On shutdown, MCP servers are gracefully terminated
+
+## Files
+
+### Created
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `cmd/mcp.go` | Runtime MCP manager with JSON-RPC protocol |
+| `cmd/mcp_cmd.go` | CLI commands for managing MCPs (push, pull, list, etc.) |
+| `server/mcp.go` | MCP layer utilities (extraction, creation) |
+

+### 1. Create an MCP Server
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+# mcp-server.py
+import json

+```
+
+### 2. Create an Agent
+
+```dockerfile
+# my-agent.Agentfile
+FROM gpt-oss:20b
+AGENT TYPE conversational
+SYSTEM You have access to a calculator. Use the add tool when asked to add numbers.
+MCP calculator python3 ./mcp-server.py
+```
+
+### 3. Build and Run
+
+```bash
+ollama create my-agent -f my-agent.Agentfile
+ollama run my-agent "What is 15 + 27?"
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Loaded MCP servers: calculator (1 tools)
+Executing: mcp_calculator_add
+Output: 42
+The result is 42.
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+The `ollama mcp` command provides utilities for managing MCP servers:
+
+### Global Config Commands
+
+Add an MCP server to the global config (`~/.ollama/mcp.json`):
+```bash
+# Add MCP to global config (available to all agents)
+ollama mcp add web-search uv run ./mcp-server.py
+ollama mcp add calculator python3 /path/to/calc.py
+
+# List global MCP servers (shows enabled/disabled status)
+ollama mcp list-global
+
+# Disable an MCP server (keeps in config but won't be loaded)
+ollama mcp disable web-search
+
+# Re-enable a disabled MCP server
+ollama mcp enable web-search
+
+# Remove from global config
+ollama mcp remove-global web-search
+```
+
+### Registry Commands
+
+Package and push MCPs to a registry:
+```bash
+# Push MCP to registry (creates locally first)
+ollama mcp push mcp/websearch:1.0 ./my-mcp-server/
+
+# Pull MCP from registry
+ollama mcp pull mcp/websearch:1.0
+
+# List installed MCPs (from registry)
+ollama mcp list
+
+# Show MCP details
+ollama mcp show mcp/websearch:1.0
+
+# Remove MCP
+ollama mcp rm mcp/websearch:1.0
+```
+
+## REPL Commands
+
+Inside `ollama run`, you can manage MCP servers dynamically:
+
+```
+>>> /mcp                                     # Show all MCP servers (model + global)
+>>> /mcp add calc python3 ./calc-server.py   # Add MCP server to global config
+>>> /mcp remove calc                         # Remove MCP server from global config
+>>> /mcp disable calc                        # Disable an MCP server (keep in config)
+>>> /mcp enable calc                         # Re-enable a disabled MCP server
+>>> /? mcp                                   # Get help for MCP commands
+```
+
+The `/mcp` command shows all available MCP servers (both bundled with the model and from global config). Disabled servers are shown with a `[disabled]` marker. Use `/mcp add` and `/mcp remove` to manage MCPs in `~/.ollama/mcp.json`. Changes take effect on the next message.
+
+## Global Config
+
+MCPs can be configured globally in `~/.ollama/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "web-search": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": ["run", "./mcp-server.py"]
+    },
+    "calculator": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "python3",
+      "args": ["/path/to/calc.py"],
+      "disabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `disabled` field is optional. When set to `true`, the MCP server will not be loaded when running agents.
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Remote Registry Push/Pull**: Full support for pushing/pulling MCPs to/from remote registries
+2. **Use go-sdk**: Consider using `github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk` for protocol handling
+3. **Resource Support**: Add MCP resources (not just tools)
+4. **Prompt Support**: Add MCP prompts
+
+## Protocol Reference
+
+MCP uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio with these key methods:
+
+| Method | Direction | Purpose |
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+| `initialize` | Client→Server | Handshake with capabilities |
+| `notifications/initialized` | Client→Server | Confirm initialization |
+| `tools/list` | Client→Server | Discover available tools |
+| `tools/call` | Client→Server | Execute a tool |
+
+See [MCP Specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs) for full details.

+# Skill Registry Design
+
+## Overview
+
+Skills are distributable capability packages for Ollama agents. They can be:
+- Bundled with agents at creation time (local paths)
+- Pulled from the registry (skill references)
+- Pushed to the registry for sharing
+
+## User Experience
+
+### Push a Skill
+
+```bash
+# Push a local skill directory to the registry
+ollama skill push myname/calculator:1.0.0 ./skills/calculator-skill
+
+# Output:
+# Creating skill layer for skill/myname/calculator:1.0.0
+# pushing sha256:abc123... 1.2KB
+# pushing sha256:def456... 220B
+# pushing manifest
+# Successfully pushed skill/myname/calculator:1.0.0
+```
+
+### Pull a Skill
+
+```bash
+# Pull a skill from the registry
+ollama skill pull calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Output:
+# pulling manifest
+# pulling sha256:abc123... 1.2KB
+# extracting skill...
+# Successfully pulled skill/calculator:1.0.0
+```
+
+### List Installed Skills
+
+```bash
+ollama skill list
+
+# Output:
+# NAME                      TAG     SIZE     MODIFIED
+# skill/calculator          1.0.0   1.2 KB   2 hours ago
+# skill/myname/hello        latest  0.8 KB   1 day ago
+```
+
+### Remove a Skill
+
+```bash
+ollama skill rm calculator:1.0.0
+# Deleted 'skill/calculator:1.0.0'
+```
+
+### Use Skills in Agentfile
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM llama3.2:3b
+
+AGENT_TYPE conversational
+SKILL skill/calculator:1.0.0    # Registry reference
+SKILL ./local-skill             # Local path (for development)
+
+SYSTEM You are a helpful assistant.
+```
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Skill Manifest Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 2,
+  "mediaType": "application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json",
+  "config": {
+    "mediaType": "application/vnd.docker.container.image.v1+json",
+    "digest": "sha256:config...",
+    "size": 220
+  },
+  "layers": [
+    {
+      "mediaType": "application/vnd.ollama.image.skill",
+      "digest": "sha256:skill...",
+      "size": 1234
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Config Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "calculator",
+  "description": "A skill for performing calculations",
+  "architecture": "amd64",
+  "os": "linux"
+}
+```
+
+### Storage Layout
+
+Skills use a 5-part manifest structure: `host/namespace/kind/model/tag`
+
+```
+~/.ollama/models/
+├── blobs/
+│   └── sha256-<skill-digest>           # Skill tar.gz blob
+├── manifests/
+│   └── registry.ollama.ai/
+│       └── library/
+│           └── skill/                  # Kind = skill
+│               └── calculator/
+│                   └── 1.0.0
+│       └── myname/
+│           └── skill/                  # User skills
+│               └── my-skill/
+│                   └── latest
+└── skills/
+    └── sha256-<digest>/                # Extracted skill cache
+        ├── SKILL.md
+        └── scripts/
+```
+
+### Name Structure
+
+Skills use a 5-part name structure with `kind` to distinguish from models:
+
+| Skill Reference | Namespace | Kind | Model | Tag |
+|-----------------|-----------|------|-------|-----|
+| `skill/calculator:1.0.0` | library | skill | calculator | 1.0.0 |
+| `myname/skill/calc:latest` | myname | skill | calc | latest |
+
+### Media Type
+
+```go
+const MediaTypeSkill = "application/vnd.ollama.image.skill"
+```
+
+### Key Types
+
+```go
+// SkillRef represents a skill reference in agent config
+type SkillRef struct {
+    Name   string `json:"name,omitempty"`   // "calculator-skill" or "myname/skill/calc:1.0.0"
+    Digest string `json:"digest,omitempty"` // "sha256:abc..." (set when bundled)
+}
+
+// model.Name represents a parsed 5-part name
+type Name struct {
+    Host      string // "registry.ollama.ai"
+    Namespace string // "library" or "myname"
+    Kind      string // "skill" or "agent" or "" for models
+    Model     string // "calculator"
+    Tag       string // "1.0.0"
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Files
+
+### Client (ollama)
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `server/skill.go` | Skill blob handling, path parsing, extraction |
+| `cmd/skill_cmd.go` | CLI commands (push, pull, list, rm, show) |
+| `cmd/skills.go` | Skill loading and catalog management |
+| `server/create.go` | Skill layer creation during agent create |
+| `server/images.go` | Skill extraction during pull |
+| `types/model/config.go` | SkillRef type definition |
+
+### Registry (ollama.com)
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `ollamadotcom/registry/store.go` | MediaTypeSkill constant |
+| `ollamadotcom/store/store.go` | RecordPush handles skill layers |
+
+## Registry Integration
+
+### What Works
+
+- Blob uploads (content-addressable, no auth required)
+- Layer indexing (skill layers stored with mediatype)
+- Manifest structure (4-part path compatible)
+
+### What's Needed
+
+1. **Namespace Configuration**: The `skill` namespace needs to be configured with:
+   - Public read access
+   - Authenticated write access
+
+2. **Permission Model**: Decide who can push to `skill/` namespace:
+   - Only Ollama team (curated library)
+   - Verified publishers
+   - Anyone (open registry)
+
+## Pull Flow
+
+### Agent with Bundled Skills
+
+```
+ollama pull my-agent
+    → GET manifest (includes skill layers)
+    → Download all blobs (model + skills)
+    → Extract skill blobs to ~/.ollama/models/skills/
+    → Ready to run
+```
+
+### Standalone Skill
+
+```
+ollama skill pull calculator:1.0.0
+    → Parse as skill/calculator:1.0.0
+    → Convert to model.Name{Namespace: "skill", Model: "calculator", Tag: "1.0.0"}
+    → GET manifest from registry
+    → Download skill blob
+    → Extract to ~/.ollama/models/skills/sha256-<digest>/
+    → Available for agents to reference
+```
+
+## Push Flow
+
+```
+ollama skill push myname/calculator:1.0.0 ./my-skill
+    → Validate SKILL.md exists
+    → Create tar.gz of skill directory
+    → Compute SHA256 digest
+    → Store blob locally
+    → Create skill manifest with config layer
+    → Store manifest locally
+    → Push blobs to registry
+    → Push manifest to registry
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- Old agents with `Skills: []string` (paths) continue to work
+- New agents use `Skills: []SkillRef` with name and digest
+- Parser detects format and handles both
+
+## Local Registry Testing
+
+To test push/pull locally, you need MinIO and the Docker registry running:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start MinIO (for blob storage)
+minio server ~/.minio-data --console-address ':9001' &
+
+# 2. Create the ollama-dev bucket (first time only)
+mc config host add local http://localhost:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
+mc mb local/ollama-dev
+
+# 3. Start the registry (from ollama.com repo)
+cd /path/to/ollama.com/registry
+go run cmd/registry/main.go serve config-dev.yml &
+
+# 4. Verify registry is running
+curl http://localhost:6000/v2/
+```
+
+**Important:** The `config-dev.yml` must have matching ports:
+```yaml
+http:
+  addr: :6000
+  host: http://localhost:6000  # Must match addr!
+```
+
+### Test Commands
+
+```bash
+# Push skill from local folder
+ollama skill push localhost:6000/testuser/skill/calculator:1.0.0 ./skills/calculator-skill --insecure
+
+# Pull skill from registry
+ollama skill pull localhost:6000/testuser/skill/calculator:1.0.0 --insecure
+
+# List skills
+ollama skill list
+
+# Show skill
+ollama skill show localhost:6000/testuser/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+```

+# Ollama Skills
+
+Skills are reusable capability packages that extend what agents can do. They bundle instructions, scripts, and data that teach an agent how to perform specific tasks.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Creating a Skill
+
+Create a directory with a `SKILL.md` file:
+
+```
+my-skill/
+├── SKILL.md          # Required: Instructions for the agent
+└── scripts/          # Optional: Executable scripts
+    └── run.py
+```
+
+The `SKILL.md` file must have YAML frontmatter:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-skill
+description: A brief description of what this skill does
+---
+
+# My Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Explain what this skill does and when to use it.
+
+## Instructions
+Step-by-step instructions for the agent on how to use this skill.
+
+## Examples
+Show example inputs and expected outputs.
+```
+
+### Using Skills in an Agent
+
+Reference skills in your Agentfile:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM llama3.2:3b
+AGENT_TYPE conversational
+
+# Local skill (bundled with agent)
+SKILL ./path/to/my-skill
+
+# Registry skill (pulled from ollama.com)
+SKILL library/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# User skill from registry
+SKILL myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+SYSTEM You are a helpful assistant.
+```
+
+### Managing Skills
+
+```bash
+# Push a skill to the registry (uses your namespace)
+ollama skill push myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0 ./my-skill
+
+# Pull a skill from the official library
+ollama skill pull skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Pull a skill from a user's namespace
+ollama skill pull myname/skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# List installed skills
+ollama skill list
+
+# Show skill details
+ollama skill show skill/calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Remove a skill
+ollama skill rm skill/calculator:1.0.0
+```
+
+### Dynamic Skills in Chat
+
+You can add and remove skills dynamically during an interactive chat session:
+
+```
+>>> /skills
+Available Skills:
+  calculator (sha256:abc123def456...)
+
+>>> /skill add ./my-local-skill
+Added skill 'my-skill' from ./my-local-skill
+
+>>> /skill list
+Skills loaded in this session:
+  my-skill (local: /path/to/my-local-skill)
+
+>>> /skill remove my-skill
+Removed skill 'my-skill'
+```
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/skills` | Show all available skills (model + session) |
+| `/skill add <path>` | Add a skill from a local path |
+| `/skill remove <name>` | Remove a skill by name |
+| `/skill list` | List skills loaded in this session |
+
+Dynamic skills take effect on the next message. This is useful for:
+- Testing skills during development
+- Temporarily adding capabilities to a model
+- Experimenting with skill combinations
+
+## Skill Reference Formats
+
+Skills use a 5-part name structure: `host/namespace/kind/model:tag`
+
+| Format | Example | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Local path | `./skills/calc` | Bundled with agent at create time |
+| Library skill | `skill/calculator:1.0.0` | From the official skill library (library/skill/calculator) |
+| User skill | `alice/skill/calc:1.0.0` | From a user's namespace |
+| Full path | `registry.ollama.ai/alice/skill/calc:1.0.0` | Fully qualified with host |
+
+The `kind` field distinguishes skills from models:
+- `skill` - Skill packages
+- `agent` - Agent packages (future)
+- (empty) - Regular models
+
+## SKILL.md Structure
+
+### Required Frontmatter
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: skill-name        # Must match directory name
+description: Brief description of the skill
+---
+```
+
+### Recommended Sections
+
+1. **Purpose**: What the skill does and when to use it
+2. **When to use**: Trigger conditions for the agent
+3. **Instructions**: Step-by-step usage guide
+4. **Examples**: Input/output examples
+5. **Scripts**: Documentation for any bundled scripts
+
+### Example: Calculator Skill
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: calculator
+description: Performs mathematical calculations using Python
+---
+
+# Calculator Skill
+
+## Purpose
+This skill performs mathematical calculations using a bundled Python script.
+
+## When to use
+- User asks to calculate something
+- User wants to do math operations
+- Any arithmetic is needed
+
+## Instructions
+1. When calculation is needed, use the `run_skill_script` tool
+2. Call: `python3 scripts/calculate.py "<expression>"`
+3. Return the result to the user
+
+## Examples
+
+**Input**: "What is 25 * 4?"
+**Action**: `run_skill_script` with command `python3 scripts/calculate.py '25 * 4'`
+**Output**: "25 * 4 = 100"

+# Security Considerations
+
+## Current State (Development)
+
+The current implementation has several security considerations that need to be addressed before production use.
+
+### 1. Script Execution
+
+**Risk**: Skills can bundle arbitrary scripts that execute on the host system.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Scripts run with the same permissions as the Ollama process
+- No sandboxing or isolation
+- Full filesystem access
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Sandbox script execution (containers, seccomp, etc.)
+- [ ] Resource limits (CPU, memory, time)
+- [ ] Filesystem isolation (read-only mounts, restricted paths)
+- [ ] Network policy controls
+- [ ] Capability dropping
+
+### 2. Skill Provenance
+
+**Risk**: Malicious skills could be pushed to the registry.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- No code signing or verification
+- No malware scanning
+- Trust based on namespace ownership
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Skill signing with author keys
+- [ ] Registry-side malware scanning
+- [ ] Content policy enforcement
+- [ ] Reputation system for skill authors
+
+### 3. Namespace Squatting
+
+**Risk**: Malicious actors could register skill names that impersonate official tools.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- First-come-first-served namespace registration
+- No verification of skill names
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Reserved namespace list (official tools, common names)
+- [ ] Trademark/name verification for popular skills
+- [ ] Clear namespacing conventions
+
+### 4. Supply Chain Attacks
+
+**Risk**: Compromised skills could inject malicious code into agents.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Skills pulled without integrity verification beyond digest
+- No dependency tracking
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) for skills
+- [ ] Dependency vulnerability scanning
+- [ ] Pinned versions in Agentfiles
+- [ ] Audit logging of skill usage
+
+### 5. Data Exfiltration
+
+**Risk**: Skills could exfiltrate sensitive data from conversations or the host.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Skills have access to conversation context
+- Scripts can make network requests
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Network egress controls
+- [ ] Sensitive data detection/masking
+- [ ] Audit logging of script network activity
+- [ ] User consent for data access
+
+### 6. Privilege Escalation
+
+**Risk**: Skills could escalate privileges through script execution.
+
+**Current behavior**:
+- Scripts inherit Ollama process privileges
+- No capability restrictions
+
+**Mitigations needed**:
+- [ ] Run scripts as unprivileged user
+- [ ] Drop all capabilities
+- [ ] Mandatory access controls (SELinux/AppArmor)
+
+## Recommended Security Model

+
+## API Considerations
+
+### Skill Metadata API
+
+```
+GET /api/skills
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/versions
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/readme
+```
+
+### Skill Execution API
+
+```
+POST /api/skills/:namespace/:name/execute
+{
+  "command": "python3 scripts/run.py",
+  "args": ["--input", "data"],
+  "timeout": 30
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Permissions API
+
+```
+GET /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions
+POST /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions/grant
+DELETE /api/skills/:namespace/:name/permissions/revoke
+```
+
+## Testing Considerations
+
+### Skill Testing Framework
+
+```bash
+# Run skill tests
+ollama skill test ./my-skill
+
+# Test with specific model
+ollama skill test ./my-skill --model llama3.2:3b
+
+# Generate test report
+ollama skill test ./my-skill --report
+```
+
+### Test File Format
+
+```yaml
+# my-skill/tests/test.yaml
+tests:
+  - name: "basic calculation"
+    input: "What is 2 + 2?"
+    expect:
+      contains: "4"
+      tool_called: "run_skill_script"
+
+  - name: "complex expression"
+    input: "Calculate 15% of 200"
+    expect:
+      contains: "30"
+```
+
+## Compatibility Considerations
+
+### Minimum Ollama Version
+
+Skills should declare minimum Ollama version:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: my-skill
+requires:
+  ollama: ">=0.4.0"
+---
+```
+
+### Model Compatibility
+
+Skills may require specific model capabilities:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: vision-skill
+requires:
+  capabilities:
+    - vision
+    - tools
+---
+```
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### From Local to Registry
+
+```bash
+# Develop locally
+SKILL ./my-skill
+
+# Push when ready
+ollama skill push myname/my-skill:1.0.0 ./my-skill
+
+# Update Agentfile
+SKILL skill/myname/my-skill:1.0.0
+```
+
+### Version Upgrades
+
+```bash
+# Check for updates
+ollama skill outdated
+
+# Update specific skill
+ollama skill update calculator:1.0.0
+
+# Update all skills
+ollama skill update --all
+```

+description: Help non-technical users process Excel and CSV data - summarize spreadsheets, find duplicates, filter rows, calculate statistics, and clean up data. Use when the user mentions Excel, spreadsheet, CSV, or asks about their data.
+---
+
+# Excel Data Processing Skill
+
+## Purpose
+
+This skill helps users work with Excel (.xlsx) and CSV files without needing technical knowledge. It can summarize data, find problems, answer questions about the data, and perform common cleanup tasks.
+
+## When to use
+
+- User uploads or mentions an Excel or CSV file
+- User wants to understand what's in their data
+- User asks about duplicates, missing values, or data quality
+- User wants to filter, sort, or summarize data
+- User asks questions like "how many", "what's the average", "show me the top 10"
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Understand the data first
+
+When a user provides a file, ALWAYS start by running a summary to understand what you're working with:
+
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" summary
+```
+
+This shows:
+- Number of rows and columns
+- Column names and their data types
+- Sample of the data
+- Missing value counts
+
+### Step 2: Answer their question
+
+Based on what the user asks, use the appropriate command:
+
+**Get statistics for a column:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" stats "<column_name>"
+```
+Shows count, average, min, max, and common values.
+
+**Find duplicate rows:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" duplicates
+```
+Or check duplicates in specific columns:
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" duplicates "<column_name>"
+```
+
+**Filter rows:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" filter "<column>" "<operator>" "<value>"
+```
+Operators: equals, contains, greater, less, not_equals
+Examples:
+- `filter "Status" "equals" "Active"`
+- `filter "Amount" "greater" "1000"`
+- `filter "Name" "contains" "Smith"`
+
+**Sort data:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" sort "<column>" [asc|desc]
+```
+
+**Count values in a column:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" count "<column_name>"
+```
+Shows how many times each value appears.
+
+**Get top/bottom rows:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" top "<column>" <number>
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" bottom "<column>" <number>
+```
+
+**Find missing values:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_data.py "<filepath>" missing
+```
+
+**Export filtered/processed data:**
+Add `--output "<new_filepath>"` to any command to save results.
+
+## Examples
+
+**User: "What's in this spreadsheet?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "sales.xlsx" summary`
+
+**User: "Are there any duplicate entries?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "sales.xlsx" duplicates`
+
+**User: "How many sales per region?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "sales.xlsx" count "Region"`
+
+**User: "Show me orders over $500"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "orders.csv" filter "Amount" "greater" "500"`
+
+**User: "What's the average order value?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "orders.csv" stats "Amount"`
+
+**User: "Find all rows with missing email addresses"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "contacts.xlsx" filter "Email" "equals" ""`
+
+**User: "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_data.py "customers.csv" top "Revenue" 10`
+
+## Tips for helping non-technical users
+
+1. Always explain what you found in plain language
+2. If there are issues (duplicates, missing data), explain why it matters
+3. Offer to help fix problems you discover
+4. When showing numbers, provide context ("this is high/low compared to...")
+5. Ask clarifying questions if the column names are ambiguous

+description: Help users work with PDF files - extract text, get document info, search content, extract pages, and merge PDFs. Use when the user mentions PDF, document extraction, or wants to read/combine PDF files.
+---
+
+# PDF Processing Skill
+
+## Purpose
+
+This skill helps users work with PDF files without needing technical knowledge. It can extract text, search for content, get document information, split and merge PDFs.
+
+## When to use
+
+- User uploads or mentions a PDF file
+- User wants to extract text from a document
+- User asks "what's in this PDF" or similar
+- User wants to search for something in a PDF
+- User wants to combine or split PDF files
+- User asks about page counts or document info
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Understand the document first
+
+When a user provides a PDF, start by getting info about it:
+
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" info
+```
+
+This shows:
+- Number of pages
+- Document metadata (title, author, etc.)
+- File size
+
+### Step 2: Perform the requested operation
+
+Based on what the user asks, use the appropriate command:
+
+**Extract all text:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" text
+```
+Extracts text from all pages.
+
+**Extract text from specific pages:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" text --pages 1,2,3
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" text --pages 1-5
+```
+
+**Search for text:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" search "<query>"
+```
+Finds all occurrences and shows surrounding context.
+
+**Extract tables:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" tables
+```
+Attempts to extract tables from the PDF as CSV format.
+
+**Extract specific pages to new PDF:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" split --pages 1-3 --output "extracted.pdf"
+```
+
+**Merge multiple PDFs:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py merge "<file1.pdf>" "<file2.pdf>" --output "combined.pdf"
+```
+
+**Get word/character count:**
+```
+uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "<filepath>" count
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+**User: "What's in this PDF?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" info`
+Then: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" text --pages 1` (for first page preview)
+
+**User: "Extract the text from this document"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" text`
+
+**User: "Find all mentions of 'invoice' in this PDF"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" search "invoice"`
+
+**User: "How many pages is this?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" info`
+
+**User: "Get me just pages 5-10"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" split --pages 5-10 --output "pages_5_10.pdf"`
+
+**User: "Combine these two PDFs"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py merge "doc1.pdf" "doc2.pdf" --output "combined.pdf"`
+
+**User: "Are there any tables in this PDF?"**
+Run: `uv run scripts/process_pdf.py "document.pdf" tables`
+
+## Tips for helping non-technical users
+
+1. Always start with `info` to understand what you're working with
+2. For long documents, extract just the first page first to preview
+3. If text extraction looks garbled, the PDF might be scanned images (OCR needed)
+4. Explain what you found in plain language
+5. If tables don't extract well, mention that PDF tables can be tricky
